TRIPURA: Acting on a tip-off, authorities swiftly detained a lorry at the Beth Cherra area, located on National Highway-8 in Kumarghat. As the police set up a checkpoint to conduct routine inspections, the vigilant officers noticed suspicious activity from the driver of the vehicle and decided to carry out a thorough search.
Upon inspection, the police discovered the illicit cargo carefully hidden within 60 packets, each containing a substantial amount of cannabis. The total weight of the seized contraband amounted to a staggering 1,500 kilograms. The estimated market value of this significant seizure reached approximately Rs 2 crore, making it a major blow to the illegal drug trade.
The successful operation showcases the commitment and dedication of the Kumarghat Police in their relentless efforts to combat the drug menace plaguing the region. Their prompt action based on credible intelligence led to the disruption of a major drug trafficking network and prevented these narcotics from reaching the hands of potential consumers.
The seizure of such a substantial quantity of cannabis serves as a strong deterrent to those involved in the illegal drug trade. The police have launched a comprehensive investigation to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible for this illicit activity. Efforts are underway to gather crucial information that will aid in dismantling the entire supply chain of this criminal network.
The Kumarghat Police, in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, remain steadfast in their mission to rid the state of Tripura from the grip of drug trafficking. The seizure of this massive haul sends a clear message that illegal activities will not be tolerated, and strict action will be taken against those involved.
The confiscated cannabis will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further investigation and legal proceedings. The police urge the public to come forward and provide any information that may assist in curbing drug-related crimes and creating a safer environment for the citizens of Tripura.
