HYDERABAD: As part of a New Year Special Operation, the Hyderabad Narcotic Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) along with Ramgopalpet Police apprehended two people for usage and peddling of narcotic substances.

Mohit Agarwal (30), who owned an event managing company called ‘The Unscripted’ and Manyam Krishna Kishore Reddy (59), who ran an engineering company named ‘KMC Pvt Ltd’ were both interested in parties and had contacts of pub owners and DJs. They conducted private parties and also consumed drugs. Reportedly, they were also associated with many drug peddlers in Hyderabad, Goa, Mumbai and Bangalore.
