Officials confirmed the arrest of three individuals following intelligence-driven counter-narcotic efforts.
The operation was executed on 24th July 2025 when a vehicle checkpost was set up to intercept suspected drug trafficking vehicles. The contraband was discovered concealed within a vehicle, leading to immediate detention of the suspects. All seized items and individuals were transferred to local authorities for further investigation.
In a separate action near the Indo-Myanmar border, Assam Rifles confiscated heroin valued at Rs 9.75 crore. The effort was part of a strategic initiative to curb drug smuggling in the region.
