Sonai Police successfully apprehended two individuals in a significant anti-drug operation near Dhanheri ONGC on the Silchar-Sonai PWD road in Cachar district. The operation was led by Station Officer-in-Charge Biswajit Nath following a tip-off around 10 PM on Monday.
During a search of a passenger auto-rickshaw in Dhanahari 1st area, police discovered 175 grams of heroin cleverly hidden inside a music system box. The suspects were identified as Aminur Islam Ahmed, 36, from Shyamcharakuti 3rd Khand, and Mohammad Ali Talukdar, 38, from Khutabagora 1st village, both residents of Dhubri district.
Authorities seized 14 plastic soap boxes containing the heroin along with two mobile phones. It is alleged that the drugs were being smuggled from Sonai to Silchar via the auto-rickshaw. This bust marks a crucial breakthrough in the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in the region.
Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced another major seizure by Cachar Police at Dholai Police Station. A car intercepted in Ramprasadpur yielded 40,000 Yaba tablets and 260 grams of heroin. The suspected drug dealer was arrested, and investigations into the broader smuggling network are underway.
