The SOT officials nabbed 37-year-old M. Srinivasulu, along with 28-year-old M. Appan Kumar, the cleaner of the private bus. “They purchased the contraband from a supplier in Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh and were bringing it to Hyderabad to sell it at higher rates. Appan’s plan was to sell it through Srinivas’s contacts in the city,” said the officials.
