A gang of four from Rajasthan, including two juvenile boys, were nabbed by the Special Operations Teams (SOT) of LB Nagar and Meerpet police for transporting and selling heroin in Hyderabad. Officials seized 80 grams of the contraband from them.

Rachakonda Police Commissioner D.S. Chauhan said that Bhanwar Lal, 24, Vishnu Bishnoi, 19, along with the two juveniles, were caught with 80 grams of the drug at Meerpet. The value of the seized heroin is about ₹50 lakh in the international market, he said.
