Shah Reinforces Firm Stance Against Drug Cartels and Narcotics Trade
Praising the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Shah emphasized that this drug seizure highlights the effectiveness of their comprehensive investigative approach. He added, “Our hunt for drugs continues. Heartfelt congratulations to the NCB team.”
The NCB successfully confiscated ₹88 crore worth of methamphetamine tablets and apprehended four members of an international drug network operating in the Imphal and Guwahati areas. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the first operation occurred on March 13, when NCB officers in Imphal intercepted a truck in the Lilong area. After thorough surveillance, they uncovered 102.39 kg of methamphetamine tablets hidden in a toolbox at the back of the truck, leading to the arrest of two individuals inside the vehicle.
Following this, a follow-up operation resulted in the arrest of a suspected recipient of the drugs in the Lilong area, along with the recovery of a four-wheeler used for drug trafficking.
In a parallel operation the same day, the NCB’s Guwahati unit stopped an SUV on the Assam-Mizoram border near Silchar. A detailed inspection revealed 7.48 kg of methamphetamine tablets concealed within the vehicle’s spare tire, resulting in the arrest of the occupant.
The source of this contraband was identified as Moreh, Manipur, with Karimganj being the suspected destination. The MHA confirmed that investigations are ongoing to apprehend others associated with this case.
In a related development, the NCB is also assuming control of an investigation from the Mizoram State Excise Department regarding the seizure of approximately 46 kg of crystal meth in Brigade Bawngkawn, Aizawl, on March 6. Four individuals linked to the drug syndicate have already been arrested. The NCB’s takeover aims to investigate the international and interstate connections of the trafficking network.
