Hyderabad: The Telangana Anti Narcotics Bureau (TGNAB) has arrested a software engineer from Khammam for allegedly ordering drugs through the dark web.
The engineer, whose identity has not been disclosed, placed the order on July 31 and paid for the drugs using cryptocurrency. The vendor, located in Assam, discreetly sent the drugs via speed post, concealed under brown tape on a newspaper. The software engineer received the package on August 8.
Acting on a tip-off, TGANB’s technical wing, in collaboration with RNCC Khammam and local police, apprehended the software engineer. The individual is currently undergoing counseling by the authorities.
Since the establishment of TGANB, numerous drug traffickers and consumers, both domestic and international, have been apprehended, significantly curtailing illegal activities in Telangana. Continuous tracking and monitoring have driven most offenders to either leave the state or reduce their operations.
Despite relentless efforts by the government and law enforcement agencies, why does the drug menace continue to thrive? Isn’t it the responsibility of parents to keep a vigilant eye on their children? Parents should take proactive steps to steer their children away from harmful influences. Is any job or responsibility so demanding that it justifies compromising the safety and well-being of one’s own children?
