More canines are going to be trained specifically to sniff out narcotics, said the Hyderabad city police officials. Officials said that search for narcotics in pubs and other such establishments are going to be a routine process.
On Sunday night, officials from the Hyderabad and Cyberabad police carried out searches on several pubs using K9 squad sniffer dogs for the first time. While the Hyderabad police checked the bars and pubs located on the Jubilee Hills stretch, Cyberabad police searched three pubs in their commissionerate. However, no violations pertaining to drugs were reported in any of them.
Speaking about the searches, Hyderabad Commissioner K. Sreenivasa Reddy said that two canines will be trained specially to sniff out narcotics. “Sniffer dogs are trained with a focus on explosives along with drugs but have not been used to detect narcotics so far. Though we are training them further, new canines are also being brought in and will be trained to only detect narcotics,” said the official.
