A huge quantity of narcotics worth over ₹600 crore had been seized from drug smugglers in Imphal and the border town of Moreh in the last 24 hours, officials said on Tuesday.
Addressing reporters at an impromptu press conference on Tuesday, Tengoupal district Superintendent of Police (SP) T. Bikramjit said that the police had obtained inputs to the effect that some persons were involved in a drug smuggling business. A joint team of the police and 43 Assam Rifles personnel raided a house at Moreh’s Ward Number 2. This followed the interception of a person from Myanmar identified as Monkhai at the Sunrise Club compound. He was riding a foreign motorcycle. “On opening a big bag containing 20 packets, it was found that there were 222 small packets [inside],” the SP said. The foreigner said the packets contained “brown sugar”.
