Digital Desk: Two Manipur
locals were detained in Assam on Sunday after drugs worth Rs 18 crore were
discovered in their hands in Guwahati and the nearby Kamrup district, according
to police. According to a senior officer, the Assam Police's Special Task Force
officers, along with Kamrup police, pursued and captured two accused
traffickers in a vehicle.
According to STF Deputy Inspector General Partha Sarathi Mahanta, police
forces were deployed when it was learned that a Manipur-based organization was
planning to transit drugs through Assam.
"Early on Sunday, specific information was received that the group
was on its way to deliver the contraband in a luxury vehicle."
"As
a result, the vehicle was located, and an STF team, along with Kamrup district
police, pursued the team." The peddlers attempted to depart the scene in
order to avoid the police dragnet. The driver lost control of the vehicle
during the operation, and it tumbled roughly 100 feet down the hillock of Powa
Makkah in Hajo," Mahanta stated.
According
to him, the police crew apprehended two people from Manipur and searched the
overturned vehicle extensively.
"A search of the damaged
vehicle yielded 100 soap boxes containing 1.3 kg of heroin." Another
search of their leased property in Jalukbari, Guwahati, yielded 65 more packets
of heroin totaling 900 grams, according to the DIG.
He stated that an investigation is underway to identify more
people linked to the network.
