Hyderabad: Drug delivered through bike taxi parcel services? That’s the modus operandi two drug peddlers adopted to supply drugs to their customers.

The duo, Mahesh (28) and Mahipal (19), native of Rajasthan and residing at Safilguda, were caught by the Rachakonda police and 190 gm of heroin and other material, all worth Rs 23 lakh, was seized from them.

According to Rachakonda Police Commissioner, G Sudheer Babu, the suspects were procuring drugs from one Shamshuddin, a drug peddler from Rajasthan, and supplying it to local customers in the city. Recently, they procured 200 grams of heroin for Rs 1 lakh and were selling it at a much higher price in the city.

From their customers, the suspects collected the payment online and after neatly packing the drugs, would book a bike taxi service to deliver it, said Sudheer Babu.

A special team is working to nab Shamshuddin and the consumers who are absconding.
