Silchar: In a major anti-narcotics operation, the Assam Rifles, in coordination with the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Silchar, intercepted a massive consignment of WY tablets valued at approximately Rs 60 crore in Cachar district of Assam and apprehended one person.
The joint operation was carried out in the Borkhola area after security personnel intercepted a dumper truck travelling from Mizoram towards Assam on specific intelligence inputs. The driver allegedly attempted to evade the security forces, prompting a brief pursuit before the vehicle was successfully intercepted.
During a thorough search of the vehicle, the joint team recovered a large quantity of WY tablets concealed inside a specially fabricated compartment built within the body of the dumper truck. One individual was arrested in connection with the seizure.
The apprehended accused, along with the recovered narcotics and the seized vehicle, has been handed over to the DRI, Silchar, for further investigation and legal proceedings.
The seizure marks another significant success in the ongoing efforts of the Assam Rifles and the DRI to curb cross-border narcotics trafficking in the Northeast.
