The search led to the recovery of the orange YABA tablets, weighing approximately 1.3 kilograms and valued at Rs 60 lakh in the domestic market, with an estimated street value of Rs 2.4 crore near the international border. Besides the narcotics, the police also seized Rs 28,500 in cash and a Realme C-63 5G smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Amirul Islam, a long-time drug peddler, was taken into custody during the raid and identified his supplier as Ashraf Ali (31) of Jhawdanga Part-II. Acting swiftly, a second team led by SI Kumud Sarma arrested Ashraf Ali from Kusnimara, his father-in-law\u2019s residence. Both individuals are now in police custody, with legal proceedings underway under Mankachar PS GDE No. 09 dated 05\/04\/2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The operation was closely monitored by the Additional Superintendent of Police (Headquarters), and both suspects will be produced in court and remanded to judicial custody. This significant bust marks a major victory in the fight against drug trafficking, and the Mankachar Police\u2019s timely and meticulous action has sent a strong message to those involved in the illegal trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As the authorities continue to crack down on drug traffickers, it is crucial that we stay vigilant and proactive in our efforts to combat this menace. The Mankachar Police\u2019s success in this operation serves as a shining example of what can be achieved through robust law enforcement and effective intelligence gathering. As the battle against drug trafficking intensifies, it is imperative that we remain committed to supporting and empowering our law enforcement agencies to take on these nefarious criminals and restore peace and safety to our communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant blow to drug traffickers, the Mankachar Police in Assam\u2019s South Salmara-Mankachar district achieved a major breakthrough with the seizure of over 12,000 YABA tablets in a meticulously planned operation on Saturday.
