Guwahati: Assam Police stopped an auto-rickshaw at Panighat Bazar in Sribhumi district and seized 20,000 Yaba tablets. The haul carries an estimated street value of Rs 2 crore. Two suspects are now in custody following the operation.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the arrests on X. He lauded the local officers for their sharp work during the drug bust. The state remains locked in a battle against illegal narcotics.
Sarma took a jab at the suspects during his announcement. "While auto-rickshaw drivers usually refuse to take passengers to certain destinations, this time Assam Police had refused the journey by intercepting the vehicle," the Chief Minister said. This operation marks another win in the ongoing effort to clean up the streets.
