Sajjanar Warns Of Action After Youth Film Reel Offering Drugs At Temple
Hyderabad City Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar warned youth against performing objectionable acts for social media 'likes.'
Hyderabad: City commissioner V. C. Sajjanar strongly condemned a social media reel showing ganja being displayed before Lord Shiva during Maha Shivaratri celebrations, calling it a serious criminal offence. He warned that such acts, done for online popularity, could invite stringent punishment under the NDPS Act.
In a sharp post on X, Sajjanar cautioned youngsters against risking their future for likes and views. “Likes and views offer only momentary pleasure, but legal punishment can haunt for a lifetime,” he said, criticising the growing tendency to post sensational content without regard for legal or moral consequences.
Acting swiftly, the Charminar Zone Task Force detained two individuals — Sabhavath Sri Charan and Vartevath Vijay Krishna, both residents of Falaknuma Jangammet — and handed them over to Falaknuma police for further action.
Reiterating a zero‑tolerance stance, Sajjanar said police will not hesitate to initiate strict proceedings in narcotics cases. He urged citizens to use social media for creativity and constructive engagement rather than unlawful activities.
He penned a cautionary verse: “Likes kosam lokanne marichi Views kosam viluvalane marichi Reels kosam rodduna padi Mattulo munigi jeevithalani naashanam cheskuntara.”
