Hyderabad: A Rapido bike taxi rider who helped police bust a drug peddling racket was honored by Cyberabad Police on Thursday, June 4, with the Qutbullapur Deputy Commissioner of Police presenting him a cash prize.
Sattu Adarsh, the rider, grew suspicious while delivering a parcel on May 31 after noticing it was unusually light. After handing it over, he asked the recipient what it contained and was told it was “maal” – street slang for drugs. Adarsh immediately alerted the Dundigal Police.
Acting on his tip-off, police raided the flat of the sender, identified as Mukesh, and seized ganja. Mukesh was arrested and sent to judicial remand.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) N Kotireddy praised Adarsh for his presence of mind in helping the Dundigal Police solve the case.
