The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday (September 3, 2026) conducted searches at the residence of a woman allegedly involved in supplying marijuana (ganja) to customers in and around Nanakramguda in Cyberabad, Telangana, as part of a money laundering investigation.

The searches were conducted at the residence of 48-year-old Neetu Bai alias Kalapathi Nithu Bai, a resident of Dhoolpet, who is wanted in multiple cases related to marijuana trafficking. She is currently absconding, officials said.

The ED initiated the probe based on an FIR registered by the Telangana Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE). Neetu Bai had allegedly escaped arrest during a special operation conducted by the EAGLE in Nanakramguda in June.

According to officials, she had allegedly been operating from Lotha Basti in Nanakramguda and supplying marijuana to people, including software professionals working in the nearby IT corridor. She is suspected to have continued the activity through associates while remaining underground for more than a year.

The ED’s searches are part of its investigation into the alleged proceeds of the drug trade and the movement of money linked to the activity.
