Major Seizure in Railway Operation
Acting on specific intelligence inputs, law enforcement authorities conducted a thorough search of a goods train passing through Tripura, resulting in the discovery of substantial quantities of prohibited cough syrup. The contraband, cleverly concealed among legitimate cargo, was estimated to have a street value of nearly ₹2 crore.
Drug Kingpins Apprehended
Following the seizure, police investigators launched a manhunt that led to the capture of two individuals identified as masterminds behind the drug trafficking operation. The arrests mark a significant blow to the narcotics network operating in the region.
Expanding Investigation
With these latest apprehensions, the total number of individuals arrested in connection with this case has now reached three. Police sources indicate the investigation is ongoing, with authorities exploring potential interstate and international connections to the drug syndicate.
Ongoing Anti-Drug Campaign
This operation represents part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking in northeastern India. Law enforcement agencies have intensified their efforts to combat the illegal drug trade, particularly focusing on the smuggling of prescription medications and controlled substances across state borders.
Police officials have confirmed that the accused will be presented before the appropriate judicial authority, while investigations continue to uncover the full extent of the drug distribution network.
