Assam: Police seize 300 grams of suspected heroin in Hailakandi, three arrested

In a significant breakthrough, Hailakandi police have seized 300 grams of suspected heroin and arrested three persons in a raid conducted in Dhaleswari River. The incident took place on February 27 when the police conducted the raid on the Assam-Mizoram bordering Dhaleswari ferry ghat under Ramnathpur police station.

The police seized 42 containers from a boat during the operation and found sharp weapons and cash amounting to Rupees 1 lakh nine hundred. The arrested persons have been identified as Monir Uddin Laskar, Alta Hussain Tapadar, and Ahad Uddin Laskar.

According to sources, the police had been tracking the trio's movements for some time and finally caught them in the act. The seized heroin is said to have a street value of several lakhs of rupees.

This comes after the police seized suspected heroin worth Rupees 1 crore from Bangalpur village of Hailakandi district on February 26, but failed to arrest the peddlers. With this latest development, the police have expressed hope that they will be able to apprehend more drug traffickers and bring them to justice.

The investigation into the matter is still ongoing, and the police are leaving no stone unturned to get to the bottom of this case. The seizure is a major blow to the drug mafia operating in the region, and the police have vowed to continue their crackdown on illegal drug activities.
