Police arrested an alleged drug trafficker, identified as Enam Uddin, in Patharkandi and seized Yaba tablets reportedly valued at around Rs 4 crore. Authorities say the arrest took place during a police operation in which a vehicle believed to have been used for transporting the drugs was also recovered.
The seizure is being treated as a significant drug bust in Assam and comes amid ongoing enforcement actions against illegal narcotics trafficking and distribution across the state. Yaba, a stimulant tablet commonly containing methamphetamine and caffeine, is widely illicit and often trafficked in the region.
Details on the exact number of tablets seized, their point of origin and intended destination have not been released. Police said the investigation is continuing, and additional information will be disclosed as inquiries progress.
The case underscores persistent challenges for law enforcement in curbing cross-border and domestic drug networks in Assam and the broader Northeast, where periodic large seizures have prompted sustained crackdowns by police and anti-narcotics agencies.
