The drug-related challenges in Hyderabad are undeniable, with reports highlighting an alarming rise in drug abuse among city youth and film stars. Even notable figures including celebrities have been implicated in these issues. Over the years, instances linking Tollywood drug networks and international syndicates have come to light.
Despite high-profile arrests involving prominent stars, directors, and politicians, investigations by the Narcotic Bureau and SIT often lose momentum shortly after initiation. The lack of conclusive action raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of the justice system in tackling drug abuse. Upon assuming power, Revanth Reddy vowed to rid Hyderabad and Telangana of drugs as Law enforcement agencies have intensified efforts to dismantle drug rackets, uncovering further ties to the film industry. The question now looms whether Revanth Reddy can deliver on his promise and foster a healthier environment, particularly within Tollywood.
A glaring issue is the stark contrast in the treatment of celebrities versus ordinary citizens in drug-related cases. Celebrities frequently declare their innocence, and many cases against them are eventually closed due to a purported lack of evidence. In contrast, regular individuals engaged in similar activities often face harsh penalties, underscoring the unequal treatment within the justice system. Addressing these disparities is essential to ensure a fair and equitable approach to combating drug abuse.
