On the same day, Assam Police also seized 95 kg of cannabis from a four-wheeler vehicle, and two persons were arrested in connection with the seizure.

Earlier on December 5, a huge quantity of Ganja worth Rs 40 was from a truck in the state's  Karimanj district along the Assam-Tripura border.

The seizure was made after the police intercepted a truck bearing registration number TR 01C-1871.

Apart from seizing the drugs, Police also arrested the truck driver and registered a case under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act, 1985 (NDPS) Act.

''The truck was coming from Tripura's side. During a routine check-up, we intercepted the truck. During the search, we found 400kg of Ganja in a secret chamber of the truck. The driver of the truck identified as Rubel Miya was apprehended,'' said a police official.
