Hyderabad, Jan 3 (Maxim News): The Hyderabad narcotic Enforcement Wing along with the Chikkadpally police busted a drug racket and arrested four persons at Chikkadpally on Monday night. They seized 60 bottles of hashish oil, 400 liters of petroleum ether, a car, and three mobile phones, altogether worth Rs. 14 lakhs.
