Man caught with illegal supply of Mephentermine injections in Bandlaguda

The South-East Zone Task Force team, along with Bandlaguda Police, apprehended a 30-year-old man for illegally procuring and selling Mephentermine Sulphate injections. A total of 19 vials, along with a scooter, and a mobile phone, were seized from his possession. The total value of the seized items is estimated at ₹1.25 lakh.

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.
