Man caught with illegal supply of Mephentermine injections in Bandlaguda
The accused, identified as Abdul Jibran Ansari, a welder by profession and a resident of Mohammad Nagar, Bandlaguda, was caught on May 30 after the police received credible information about the illegal activity. He was found in possession of the banned injections while riding his scooter.
'Ansari had sourced the drugs from one Sahendra Prasad, a resident of Gurugram, Haryana, and was selling them at inflated rates to buyers in the Bandlaguda area. Mephentermine, typically used in medical settings, is a restricted substance that can cause serious health complications if misused,' said an officer from the Task Force.
The Hyderabad police has urged the public, particularly young individuals, to stay away from stimulant medications like Mephentermine unless prescribed and supervised by a medical professional.

Nagpur Police Task Force soon to crush ‘D-gangs' usurping prime land with forged documents
Nagpur: The Nagpur city police are set to form a 'Task Force' with an aim to dismantle the notorious 'D-gangs' that have terrorised the city's real estate sector. The term 'D-gang', on the lines of the D-gang of international don Dawood Ibrahim, was coined to describe the land mafia that used duplicate documents and forged govt records to usurp and sell prime properties. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The gangs are taking unfair advantage of city's rapid progress towards becoming a metropolitan, with projects like Mihan-SEZ and Metro rail extension driving land prices upwards, said sources adding these 'D-gangs' have targeted vulnerable people, including farmers, senior citizens and women. According to sources, the Task Force will prioritise dismantling these networks, tracing forged documents and arresting kingpins. The Task Force is the brainchild of commissioner of police Ravinder Singal. "We have identified names of some big fish among the land mafia. A dedicated and focused team is being set up. Stringent legal actions will be taken against the syndicate," he said. As per police records, there have been over 150 land-grabbing complaints in the past year alone, with many involving violence or coercion. The Task Force is expected to be operational within weeks, with initial targets including gangs linked to big-scale encroachments in areas where new plots and layouts are coming up along Wardha Road, Godhni, Mihan, north Nagpur's few patches and so on. This is, however, not the first such initiative by the city police to take on the land mafia. During former CP K Venkatesham's tenure, a special investigation team (SIT) was formed, but it lost momentum after a couple of months despite strong actions, including a crackdown on Gwalbanshi groups. The city police's latest move is seen as a decisive step towards curbing the land mafia menace. However, experts warn that without systemic reforms, the mafia's ugly head may rise again.
