Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police on Wednesday claimed to have busted a drug racket by nabbing nine persons including two foreigners and seized high-end narcotics like LSD and MDMA besides cocaine from their possession.
"Nine persons including two foreign nationals - a Nigerian and a South African have been arrested from here and 300 grams cocaine, 42 grams of MDMA, 27 LSD blots, one car and one airgun have been seized from them," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Task Force) B Limba Reddy said.
Further investigations are underway, he said.
The Excise department had on July 2 busted a racket of selling drugs such as LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and MDMA (methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) in the city and since then arrested 13 persons.
LSD, sold as tablets and liquid, is known to be one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals, while MDMA, commonly referred to as 'molly' or 'ecstasy', is a popular recreational or party drug.
