Visakhapatnam: Police have arrested a youth and recovered 63 LSD drug packets from him in Gajuwaka here on Saturday.
The surveillance team suspected that the youth, Girish Teja Naidu, was not only consuming the synthetic drug but also selling it in the city. The police said Teja would procure the synthetic drug packet from his friends on Instagram for Rs 1,000 and sell the same for Rs 2,000.
After keeping a close watch on his movements for some time, the police conducted a raid at Teja house and arrested him.
Visakhapatnam police commissioner Srikanth told reporters on Sunday that the police are investigating the contacts of the accused and gathering all the details about the drug peddlers network.
He said local drug peddlers are procuring the drugs from Hyderabad, Bangalore and Goa and selling it in the city. After the setting up of an Anti-narcotic Drug Cell in the city, police registered 94 cases related to trading of drugs, ganja and anaesthetic injections, he disclosed.
He advised the parents to keep a close watch on the behavioural changes in their children. And, if they noticed any symptoms of depression or abnormality, they could take their children to Marpu counselling centre.

Chhatriwali Movie Review: Rakul Preet Singh’s film is informative but lags in bits
I could never wrap my head around Bollywood’s obsession with continuously addressing condom as a chhatri or an umbrella. Not only it’s cringe to hear repeatedly but also, it somewhere defeats the whole purpose with which films around these subjects are made. Moreover, picking a taboo subject and making a film on it can turn out to be quite risky if you don’t stick to the agenda and beat around the bush. Thankfully, Rakul Preet Singh’s Chhatriwali, directed by Tejas Prabhaa Vijay Deoskar, doesn’t digress much, and follows a crisp screenplay. There are some flaws here and there, but with all the humour and lighter moments, they can be somewhat overlooked.
