Guwahati: Dhubri police caught a suspected drug peddler late September 10. Officers swarmed Bokker Gali in Ward 10 following a tip about illegal pharmaceutical sales. The raid netted 30-year-old Arif Sheikh, son of Manzil Sheikh.
Police searched the suspect and found a stash of medicine. The haul included 256 Tramadol tablets, 70 prolonged-release Isosorbide Mononitrate tablets, and five U14 insulin vials. Officers also took his mobile phone. They intend to use the device to trace the supply chain. "Investigators are expected to examine the device to trace the alleged supply chain, identify suppliers and establish possible links with buyers."
The phone heads to forensics now. Authorities already produced Sheikh before the district judiciary. He remains in police custody while the department digs deeper into the distribution network.
