Assam Police have achieved another major success in their campaign against narcotics. In a special operation, police seized drugs worth over ₹3 crore and arrested two individuals. This operation, conducted based on reliable intelligence, resulted in the confiscation of a large consignment of narcotics.

Large Quantity of Drugs Seized

According to police sources, the action took place in a major district of Assam where, acting on a tip-off, police stopped and searched a vehicle. The search yielded a large quantity of narcotics, including heroin and Yaba tablets. The estimated market value of these drugs is over ₹3 crore.

Case Registered Under NDPS Act

Police officials involved in the operation stated that a case has been registered against the two arrested individuals under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Preliminary investigations suggest that the drugs were smuggled from neighbouring states or across international borders. Police are now conducting a thorough investigation to identify other members of this network and its supply chain.

He posted on the social media platform X, “Assam Police have achieved another significant feat in our fight against drugs. Drugs worth over ₹3 crore seized & two peddlers arrested.
