In a major breakthrough against drug trafficking, police in Borni Shantipur apprehended a suspected drug supplier, Rafik Ali, during an intensive anti-drug operation. Ali was found in possession of 23 containers filled with substances suspected to be heroin powder, which he had cleverly concealed inside his jacket.  

Along with the drugs, the police also seized Rs 5,210 in cash, a mobile phone, and a luxury four-wheeler bearing the registration number AS-01AA 2115, allegedly linked to incidents of cattle theft.
