SIT pinning down only film-folk, leaving others, Danam for flushing out of drug peddlers

Wondering how pubs in Hyderabad remain open till 3 am, Congress leader and former minister Danam Nagendar has asked the SIT as to why they were revealing the names of film celebrities alone.

Speaking to the media here on Monday, Danam alleged there was enormous pressure on the police with regard to drugs activities in the city. He alleged that though some greedy persons were running a pub on terrace of a building on Road No 36 in the posh Jubilee Hills area, the police concerned failed to initiate action against the pub organizers even after locals lodged a complaint with the police several times.

The former minister expressing concern over the malady spreading even to school children in the city asked the police to keep strict vigilance on the movement of Nigerians and Somalians to check the drug smuggling. He also demanded that the police conduct an operation like “cordon and search” to detect the number of Nigerians and Somalians living in the city before the dangerous situation going out of control.
