A security guard accused of supplying marijuana to University of Hyderabad students was arrested by the Telangana EAGLE Force.[1] The force seized 150 grams of ganja packed in 24 small sachets.[1] The accused, Bikash Singh alias Jung, 30, a Nepali native living in Gowlidoddi, Gachibowli, was apprehended on 29 October after information through the EAGLE Force toll-free number.[1] A mobile phone was also seized.[2] EAGLE director Sandeep Shandilya said Singh admitted selling packets of about five grams for ₹500, sometimes ₹1,000.[1] He delivered the packets near the university’s South Gate after receiving orders, the officer said.[1] Gachibowli police registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.[3]

The inquiry began after two University of Hyderabad students, Bharadwaj, 27, and Anand, 26, were picked up for questioning.[1] Both reportedly tested positive for cannabis in screening tests.[1] Bharadwaj reportedly told investigators he had used marijuana for two years with Anand, who allegedly bought the drug from Singh.[1] Singh told investigators that Raiz, a resident of Assam, supplied him about 200 grams at a time, which he split into smaller packets.[1] Singh also reportedly named 23 people, including seven students, who he said had bought marijuana from him.[1] The force said the disclosures were being verified.[1] Across this inquiry and an earlier one in August, EAGLE Force said 24 University of Hyderabad students had been identified as alleged consumers.[3] The force plans to write to the Vice-Chancellor seeking meetings with parents to counsel them and arrange de-addiction treatment where needed.[1]

The earlier case began on 7 August 2026, when the force apprehended Sandesh, 24, a former student whose urine test reportedly returned positive for THC.[3] Sandesh named another former student, Biswajit Kalita, 28, as his supplier.[1] Kalita was subsequently apprehended and 10 grams of ganja seized from him.[1] Kalita reportedly told investigators he bought 200 to 300 grams on visits to Assam and sold four- to five-gram packets for about ₹500.[1]
