Assam: One Person Captured with Narcotics in Biswanath

BISWANATH: As a part of the crackdown on narcotics in the state, the police were able to arrest one person and even seized some amount of narcotics from his possession.

As per the reports received, one person was involved in the peddling of narcotic substances in the region for quite some time. Based on inputs, Biswanath Police was able to arrest one Asmat Ali belonging to the Falfali Village of the Biswanath District.

He was found inside a tea garden in the Petulibari region of the district. On searching his possessions, the police team was able to confiscate a total of four small containers filled with a narcotics substance. The police continued to interrogate the person with the aim of revealing his contacts and collaborators.

It can be noted that a large number of youth from the district are now addicted to dangerous narcotic substances including heroin.

Acting swiftly on the received information, the police conducted the raid, resulting in the confiscation of a significant quantity of heroin. The Chief Minister highlighted the effectiveness of intelligence inputs in proactively addressing such criminal activities. The post by CM Sarma also mentioned that one individual was apprehended by the police during the operation.
