The sudden findings included two positive readings from seven tests conducted at the Quorum Club located in Serilingampally and another two positive cases from twelve tests at the Babylon pub in Jubilee Hills.

In a joint operation conducted by Joint Commissioner Qureshi, Ranga Reddy Assistant Commissioner R Kishan, and Anil Kumar Reddy, alongside personnel from the TG Nab Police and Excise Police, 33 individuals were tested with drug kits on spot with urine samples collected for further analysis.
