A day after the Prohibition and Excise department concluded its questioning of Telugu film celebrities in connection with the drug bust, an official of Excise Police visited the Rama Naidu film studio to investigate a parcel from abroad delivered at the studio.
Excise Circle Inspector Kanaka Durga questioned owner of the studio D Suresh Babu and inspected the parcel.
Suresh Babu, a leading film producer, confirmed the receipt of the parcel and explained that it contained medicines for his son. The development was significant in view of the information that courier services were being misused to bring the drugs purchased online.
Meanwhile in the continuing crackdown, the Excise department also arrested a South African Alex Victor for carrying a huge quantity of cocaine. He was arrested at the Shamshabad International Airport soon after he landed in the city via Mumbai. Officials said he is being questioned to find out his customers in Hyderabad.
