Illegal Steroids Seized:

Kandagatla Shravan Kumar, also known as Kiran, lives in Mangalikunta Doctors Colony – 2, Warangal. He has been training in body building for five years at a gym in Hanumakonda Subedari. During his training, Shravan met a person named Prashant. Prashant introduced him to steroids and convinced him to use them for body shaping and strength.

Steroid Supply from Vizag

Shravan later got in touch with Manikanth and Anand from Visakhapatnam through Prashant. They supplied him steroids without any legal licenses. Shravan ordered these drugs online. He not only used them for himself but also started selling them to other youth interested in bodybuilding. Seeing profits from the sale, Shravan made it his regular source of income.

Police Investigation and Arrest

Shravan has been using steroids for five years. He also encouraged others to use them. Warangal police received information about his activities. On Friday evening, the Matwada police took him into custody. During questioning, Shravan confessed to selling illegal steroids. Police seized banned drugs worth ₹20,000. The other accused – Prashant, Manikanth and Anand are still on the run.

Health Dangers of Steroids

Police warned that steroids may cause serious health problems. These include heart related issues and other major health risks. ACP Nandiram Naik confirmed that Shravan was booked under the Cosmetics and Drugs Act, 1940, Section 18. Police are now working to catch the remaining accused. ACP appreciated the Matwada police team for uncovering this illegal activity.

Investigation Continues

The investigation is still ongoing. Police are tracking online payment records, courier trails and communication logs between Shravan and the suppliers. The accused Prashant, Manikanth and Anand who allegedly run the network from Visakhapatnam, are being hunted. They could be part of a larger illegal steroid racket operating across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
