Hyderabad police invoke PD Act against ‘ganja don’ Angoori Bai
Angoori Bai, known as the 'ganja don' in Hyderabad's Dhoolpet area, has been placed under preventive detention (PD) after repeated arrests and bail releases. The Excise Department requested the Hyderabad Collector to invoke the PD Act against her due to her persistent involvement in illegal ganja trade. The Collector approved the request, leading to Bai's detention in Chanchalguda jail. This action aims to curb the spread of ganja distribution in the city and prevent Bai from resuming her drug business. Bai has been involved in the ganja trade for years, accumulating a fortune through smuggling and selling, and involving her family members in the business. She has been arrested multiple times and has 30 cases registered against her across various police stations.09:36 PM Mar 11, 2025 IST
