Heroin seized from government office in Arunachal, one employee held

Heroin seized from government office in Arunachal, one employee held

Itanagar Police apprehend drug supplier in civil secretariat, seize heroin worth ₹3.7 lakh; swift action commended.

In a breakthrough under the ongoing anti-drug initiative ‘Operation Dawn 2.0’, the Itanagar Police on Monday (April 7, 2025) apprehended a suspected drug supplier from the civil secretariat premises here, leading to the recovery of 44.36 g of heroin, a senior police officer said on Tuesday (April 8, 2025).

The man is currently employed as a multi-tasking staff (MTS) in the State horticulture department, Itanagar Superintendent of Police (SP) Rohit Rajbir Singh said, adding the total market value of the seized heroin is estimated to be around ₹3.7 lakh.

The incident came to light when a staff member from the secretariat alerted police that a suspected peddler had been confined inside a bathroom on the third floor of Block 3 by vigilant security personnel.

The suspect was reportedly attempting to sell narcotics within the high-security government premises, the SP said.

A police team led by sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Kengo Dirchi and other police officers reached the spot and arrested the accused.

The suspect is a resident of Zero Point near Gompa Mandir in Itanagar, originally from Borgolai Milan Nagar under the jurisdiction of the Margherita Police Station in Assam’s Tinsukia district, Mr. Singh said.

"A personal search was conducted in the presence of first-class magistrate Oli Koyu (NDPS). During the search, eight plastic vials and a tobacco container with heroin, four used syringes and Rs 32,760 in cash were recovered from his possession," the SP said.
