Hyderabad City Police, through the Commissioner’s Task Force South Zone team in coordination with Falaknuma Police, have apprehended a man for illegally procuring and selling Mephentermine Sulphate Injections without a valid license.
The accused, Abdul Gaffar Khan (30), a resident of Jahanuma, Falaknuma and employed in construction work, was found selling the injections at higher prices to customers seeking them for muscle building. Police seized 20 vials of Mephentermine Sulphate injections and one cell phone, with a total estimated value of ₹24,000.
Investigation revealed that Abdul Gaffar was sourcing the injections from Ahmed Naadhi, resident of Barkas, who is currently absconding.

Authorities have warned that the drug can cause serious health issues, including cardiac arrest and high blood pressure, if used without medical guidance.
Following the seizure, Abdul Gaffar was handed over to the SHO of Falaknuma Police Station, and a case has been registered under Cr. No. 47/2026 U/s 318(4), 278, r/w 3(5) BNS. Further investigation is ongoing to apprehend the main supplier, Ahmed Naadhi.
