The Hyderabad police’s ongoing crackdown on narcotics has taken a high-profile turn. Aman Preet Singh, brother of actor Rakul Preet Singh, has been formally booked in the Masab Tank drugs case, with authorities confirming that he is currently absconding.
The development has added fresh momentum to the investigation, as police widen the net to trace both suppliers and repeat consumers involved in the city’s drug circuit.
What the police investigation has revealed
According to officials, Aman Preet Singh has been identified as a regular drug consumer in multiple cases linked to narcotics distribution in Hyderabad. His name surfaced following a joint operation by the Masab Tank police and the Eagle Team, during which cocaine and MDMA were seized.
The breakthrough came after the arrest of two businessmen from Troop Bazaar — Nitin Singhania and Shranik Singhvi — on December 19. During interrogation, the duo allegedly admitted to supplying drugs to several regular customers, with Aman Preet Singh named as one of them.
Cocaine and MDMA seized
During the raid near Masab Tank, police recovered 43 grams of cocaine along with MDMA, strengthening the case against the arrested suppliers. Based on material evidence and statements recorded, investigators claim Aman Preet Singh had been purchasing narcotics repeatedly from the accused traders.
Police sources also revealed that his name had earlier surfaced in another drugs-related case registered by Cyberabad Police, including an incident reported from Narsingi, making this his second known case.
Repeat offender, say investigators
With his name now linked to more than one case, authorities are treating Aman Preet Singh as a repeat offender. Police have launched search operations across multiple locations to trace him, confirming that he remains on the run.
Investigators are also examining the larger supply network operating across Hyderabad, as the case continues to expose connections between businessmen, suppliers, and regular consumers within urban circles.
Broader impact of the case
The Masab Tank drugs case has once again sparked conversations around drug abuse in metropolitan cities, with officials reiterating that the crackdown will focus not just on suppliers, but also on consumers involved in illegal narcotics use.
Police have maintained that the investigation is ongoing and further names could emerge as questioning and evidence analysis continue.
Final words
As the Hyderabad police tighten their grip on the city’s drug networks, the booking of a high-profile name has pushed the case firmly into the spotlight. With Aman Preet Singh still absconding, the focus now shifts to whether authorities can track him down — and how deep this network truly runs.
