assam police seized drugs worth rs 35 crore in nagaon one arrested

In a significant breakthrough in the fight against drug trafficking, Assam Police has seized over 532 grams of heroin worth Rs 3.5 crore in Nagaon district. The seizure was made after a vehicle was stopped based on intelligence input from an apprehended person. The car driver has been arrested in the case. This operation took place on Friday night, which was carried out by Nagaon Police after a secret information. During a thorough search of the vehicle, law enforcement officials found heroin hidden in secret compartments within the car. The drugs, which have an estimated street value of Rs 3.5 crore, were carefully hidden but the alertness of the police led to their recovery.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma praised the police efforts in the crackdown. He posted on Twitter that based on input from an arrested person, police stopped a vehicle and after conducting a thorough search, recovered 532.46 grams of heroin. The seized drugs are worth Rs 3.5 crore and were hidden in secret rooms. The police have already initiated further investigation to uncover the wide network involved in the drug trafficking operations. The arrested man is being interrogated to trace the origin and intended destination of the heroin as well as identify any possible links with larger drug cartels.

The recovery comes just days after a similar operation in Karimganj district, where police arrested a drug smuggler and seized 1.5 lakh YABA tablets worth Rs 45 crore. These successive successes highlight the state’s continued crackdown on the drug trade.
