The Assam Police, in a major crackdown, arrested a suspected drug dealer and seized a large quantity of illicit drugs worth approximately Rs. 14 crore in Cachar district. The operation, conducted by the Dholai Police Station, led to the recovery of 40,000 Yaba tablets and 260 grams of heroin. The drugs were found during a routine vehicle inspection in Ramprasadpur. Yaba tablets, known for their addictive properties, are a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine.
