Aman Preet Singh, brother of Bollywood actress, detained by Telangana police in drug case

HYDERABAD: Aman Preet Singh, brother of a popular Bollywood actress, was detained by Telangana police in a drug case on Monday.

The TG-Anti Narcotics Bureau (TG-ANB), in coordination with Cyberabad police, caught five drug peddlers including two of Nigerian nationality in possession of 199 grams of cocaine. Based on the information from them, police identified 13 consumers, including the brother of a popular Tollywood and Bollywood actress.

Cyberabad police said that the actress's brother Aman Preet Singh, who too is an actor, and four other consumers tested positive for cocaine. They were booked in the case as accused but they will be treated as consumers. In the past the actress too was under Enforcement Directorate radar on the suspicion of being linked to the violation of a NDPS Act case. The police clarified that in the latest case, she is not linked.

Deputy commissioner of police (Rajendra Nagar Zone) Ch Srinivas said that two Nigerian nationals- hair stylist Onuoha Blessing alias Joana Gomes and Azeez Noheem Adeshola - and three Indians - lead consultant Allam Satya Venkata Gowtham, car driver Sanaboina Varun Kumar, choreographer Mohammed Mahaboob Shareef were arrested on the charge of peddling.

However, the prime conspirators in the drug supply Divine Ebuka Suzee alias Lebuka and Ezeonyili Franklin Uchenna alias Kaleshi, are at large and it is they who used to supply cocaine to the now arrested two Nigerian peddlers. Police have announced a reward of Rs 2 lakh for sharing the information about the wanted two key peddlers.
Among the 13 consumers, who bought cocaine from the arrested 5 drug peddlers, 6 were traced by the officials including Aman. The 13 identified consumers are Aman, Kishan Rathi, Aniketh, Yashwanth, Rohith, Sri Charan, Prasad, Hemanth, Nikhil, Madhu, Raghu, Krishnam Raju and Venkat Among them six were traced and they tested positive. They were made accused but not arrested.

Blessing in the last few months had travelled 20 times to Hyderabad and it was she who allegedly smuggled cocaine into India and in turn gave it to other accused in their gang.
