SIT formed for Moinabad farmhouse drugs case

The Telangana government has taken a key decision regarding the Moinabad farmhouse drugs case. It has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the leadership of Chevella DCP Yogesh Gautam. DGP Shivadhar Reddy issued orders to this effect. The SIT is set to investigate the origins and background of the party held at the farmhouse belonging to BRS leader and former MLA Rohit Reddy.

Furthermore, the SIT will conduct inquiries into the Dubai connections, Namith Sharma's real estate business dealings, and the illicit drug trade involved in the case.

It is a known fact that the Telangana Eagle and Moinabad police raided a party held on March 14 night at a farmhouse located in Aziznagar, Moinabad mandal, Ranga Reddy district.

During the police investigation, Rohit Reddy was identified as the prime mastermind behind the party, which involved both drugs and alcohol. While a total of 11 individuals participated in the event, the police inquiry revealed that Mahesh Kumar, Rohit Reddy, Ritesh Reddy, Kaushik Ravi, Arjun Reddy, Namith Sharma, and others consumed cocaine mixed with their alcoholic beverages.

The police have registered a case against 11 individuals in connection with this matter. The Moinabad police have decided to take the arrested accused—Rohit Reddy, Ritesh Reddy, and Namit Sharma—into custody for interrogation. They are set to file a petition in court seeking custody of the accused for a period of three to five days. Meanwhile, acting on the directives of BRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao, party legal cell leader Soma Bharath has issued a show-cause notice to former MLA Pilot Rohit Reddy, who was arrested in connection with the farmhouse drugs party case.

The notice stated that the extensive media coverage surrounding the issue has tarnished the party's reputation and caused public anxiety. It further emphasised that the BRS, as a responsible political organisation, remains committed to upholding legal norms and ethical values.

The party unequivocally condemns any involvement in illicit activities—particularly the consumption of narcotics—or having any association whatsoever with such matters. The BRS high command has directed Rohit Reddy to submit a clear and comprehensive written explanation regarding the allegations leveled against him within one week. Furthermore, Rohit Reddy has been ordered to refrain from participating in any party activities until the high command reaches a final decision on the matter.
