Former minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao demanded that the Bigg Boss behind smuggling of heroin worth thousands of crores of rupees in the state should be nabbed by the central investigation agencies.
There were reports that Aashi Trading Company, based near Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, received 25 tonnes of heroin worth Rs 72,000 crore. The firm allegedly cooked up a record that the semi-cut talcum powder blocks, which are similar to the material seized by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, were transported to a trader in New Delhi.

He fumed at the YCP government for smuggling even human hair to other places. The essentials which ought to be distributed to the poor as ration are being diverted to other states through the Kakinda port, he alleged and demanded that Chief Minister and ministers should answer why it is not being checked.
