Assam: 117 grams of suspected heroin seized in Ratabari, one arrested

In the ongoing efforts by Assam Police in the crackdown of illegal drug trafficking, the Sribhumi Police, acting on specific intelligence, launched an anti-narcotics operation under the jurisdiction of Ratabari Police Station on February 25. 

During the operation, law enforcement officials seized 117 grams of suspected heroin. One individual has been taken into custody in connection with the seizure. 

Authorities have intensified their efforts to curb the illegal drug trade in the region, with further investigations underway.

 

Cachar police intercepted a vehicle and seized narcotics worth Rs 14 crore near Dholai Police Station, marking one of the region's largest drug busts this year.

 

Officers recovered 40,000 YABA tablets and 260 grams of heroin during the operation. One suspect has been arrested in connection with the seizure.

 

The operation reflects intensified efforts by Assam Police to combat drug trafficking in the state. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma praised the police department's action on social media, highlighting it as part of the ongoing #AssamAgainstDrugs campaign.

 

YABA, also known as the madness drug, contains a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine, and has become increasingly prevalent in Northeast India's drug trade.
