The bust utilized cutting-edge equipment, including advanced drug detection kits, rapid-result urine and saliva testing kits and trained narcotics detection dogs. These tools enabled on-the-spot testing with unparalleled accuracy. The advanced technology ensured immediate results, leaving no scope for evasion, TGANB said.

Even high-profile individuals were not exempt from the operation. Internationally acclaimed German DJ Ben Bohmer and his team were also subjected to the testing process and were cleared as drug-free.

Meanwhile, TGANB has directed all pubs and bars across the State to display prominently that their establishment is a drug-free space and to strictly follow a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking. Any violation of these norms would attract severe legal consequences.

With the New Year celebrations around the corner, TGANB has announced that similar rigorous checks will be conducted at all events and parties across Telangana. Stringent action will be taken against anyone involved in the consumption or supply of drugs. Information about drug consumption or trafficking can be reported to TGANB’s toll-free number 1908.
