In a successful operation against drug trafficking, the Assam Rifles and state Police collaborated to apprehend five drug peddlers in Assam’s Cachar district. The authorities recovered heroin valued at nearly Rs 3.5 crore from the suspects. The joint team intercepted the traffickers at Burunga village near Kalain while they were attempting to transport the drugs into Meghalaya.
The operation, based on specific intelligence inputs, led to the seizure of two vehicles used for smuggling the contraband. Additionally, several mobile phones were confiscated from the accused individuals. The apprehended suspects, along with the seized items, have been handed over to the Assam Police in Cachar district for further investigation and legal action.
This timely intervention thwarted a significant drug smuggling attempt across state borders, dealing a severe blow to the narcotics networks in the region. The Assam Rifles, known for its anti-drug operations in the Northeast, conducts intelligence-based missions to disrupt such illegal activities. This latest seizure is a crucial step in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking to safeguard the well-being of local communities.
