In a dramatic turn of events, Hyderabad police have exposed yet another shocking case of high-profile drug abuse, this time involving a respected medical professional. Dr. Chigurupati Namrata, known to be CEO of Omega Hospital, was caught red-handed by the Raidurgam police while allegedly accepting a cocaine delivery—a major blow to the city’s elite healthcare image and a stark reminder of how deeply drug addiction can penetrate even the most privileged circles.
The Sting Operation Unfolds:
Acting on a tip-off from confidential sources, the Raidurgam police set up a covert surveillance operation. They had received information that a drug courier named Rampyar Ram was scheduled to deliver cocaine to Dr. Namrata.
As planned, the police team maintained a low profile and waited patiently for the exchange. The operation reached its climax when Rampyar Ram was spotted handing over the contraband to Dr. Namrata. Officers swiftly moved in, arresting both individuals on the spot.
The Details of the Bust:
During the arrest, police seized 53 grams of cocaine, ₹10,000 in cash, and two mobile phones, which are now being examined for further leads. Preliminary questioning revealed disturbing details:
- Dr. Namrata allegedly developed a cocaine addiction over the past few years.
- She contacted a drug supplier named Vans Dhakker, based in Mumbai, to procure the narcotics.
- Reports indicate she transferred ₹5 lakh to Dhakker as payment.
- In response, Dhakker sent the cocaine via delivery agent Rampyar Ram to Hyderabad.
Confession and Wider Implications:
During interrogation, Dr. Namrata confessed to her drug dependence, admitting that she has spent over ₹70 lakh on drugs over time. Her confession has sent shockwaves through the medical community and the city’s elite social circles.
Police have now launched a broader investigation into the Hyderabad drug network, exploring connections between local users and national-level suppliers. The involvement of a top doctor and hospital CEO has prompted questions about how deeply drugs have infiltrated high society and professional environments.
