In December last year, the Cachar police had seized 2000 kg of Burmese Supari which was illegally transported from Mizoram to Assam at the Lailapur checkpost near Assam Mizoram border. 

The banned contraband was found sealed inside the oil tanker of the vehicle. 

According to reports the Burmese Supari was recovered from the vehicle bearing registration number AS-28-AC-0225.

Police caught the driver of the vehicle identified as Saabul Uddin and they questioned them to dig out more details.

Earlier, the police in Lailapur on December 7 had seized a truck loaded with Burmese Supari in Dhalai which was travelling to Assam from Mizoram.

On checking around 290 sacks of illegal Burmese Supari were seized from the truck bearing registration number AS 01 LC 4164 was also seized during the process.
