Accused Sourced Drugs Online and Sold for Muscle Gain
The prime accused, Syed Asad (28), a tailor from Shahalibanda, allegedly procured the vials online from IndiaMart through a vendor based in New Delhi. Initially using the drug himself, he later began selling it to individuals seeking rapid muscle enhancement, at inflated prices.
Asad was assisted by Ahmed Qureshi (30), a beef shop owner, and a 17-year-old minor, both residents of Balapur, Ranga Reddy District.
What Was Seized
During the raid, authorities confiscated: 102 vials of Mephentermine Sulphate Injections
- 3 mobile phones
- 2 syringes
- Estimated total value: ₹1,20,000
No License, High Risk: Police and Medical Warnings
According to law enforcement, none of the accused held valid licenses to procure, possess, or sell the drug. Mephentermine Sulphate is a Schedule H drug, requiring a prescription from a registered medical practitioner. Unsupervised usage can lead to severe health issues, including:
- High blood pressure
- Cardiac arrest
- Addiction and dependency
Past Offences and Current Legal Action
Police also revealed that Syed Asad had a prior petty case related to Mephentermine misuse. His history helped authorities monitor his movements and eventually led to the bust.
The case has been registered under Cr. No. 79/2025 with charges under Sections 318(4), 278 of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) at Moghalpura Police Station. All accused and seized materials have been handed over for further investigation.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing abuse of performance-enhancing drugs and the urgent need for stricter monitoring of online drug procurement and distribution. Authorities continue their vigilance to prevent illegal drug use, especially in densely populated urban areas like Hyderabad.
