A customer looking to ‘score some stuff’ can make one Secure-Lined call on a hotline inside Goa’s Colvale Jail from Hyderabad and get the contraband delivered to him within 45 minutes anywhere in Hyderabad indicating the huge network of drug suppliers and peddlers.
The Telangana State Anti Narcotics Bureau (TSNAB) has identified two men, including a Nigerian national, lodged inside the jail to be operating one of the biggest drug rackets across the country. The network is so strong and spread out that we had to rope in the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to assist and help us break it down, said an official from the TSNAB. Officials from the bureau also said that they have informed the top brass of Goa police and prison authorities about the link to Hyderabad. Following a sweep inside the premises, 16 phones were recovered from the inmates.
“They are sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and we will know more. There are 44 foreigners lodged in the jail at present and we have also informed the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to keep an eye on their movements,” sources close to the probe revealed.
