Imphal: Manipur Police teamed up with Haryana authorities to take down a major drug suspect. They nabbed Dipu Gupta in Churachandpur. He was hiding out in the district headquarters. Officers grabbed 29.42 lakh in cash from the scene. This money allegedly comes from illegal narcotics deals. The suspect now faces charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act from a 2023 Haryana case.
Police kept the pressure on in a second hit. Bishnupur Commandos stopped a vehicle near the Kwakta Sericulture Centre. They pulled over 5 kilograms of brown sugar from a hidden spot in the door. The driver, Md Amzad Khan, went to jail. Authorities found an extra 83,770 rupees in his car. Police said the coordinated operations reflect the continuing efforts of state and central security agencies to dismantle drug trafficking syndicates and hawala networks operating within Manipur and across state borders.
A third raid hit near Moirang. Officers stopped an autorickshaw at Gelmol Lamkhai. They cuffed three men: Ebem, Hussain, and Md Nasimulla. The search turned up 68 grams of heroin. All three remain in custody as the investigation proceeds.
