Guwahati: In a significant crackdown, Assam Police seized a substantial cache of illegal cough syrup and tablets during a raid in Azara, Guwahati. Acting on precise intelligence, law enforcement officials targeted a warehouse operated by a courier company in Hatkhuwapara, identified as a hotspot for illicit smuggling activities. The operation resulted in the confiscation of over 2,300 bottles of Phensedyl, a notorious cough syrup often abused for its narcotic properties, and 18 kilograms of falsely labeled tablets hidden as coriander powder.
The clandestine operation revealed that the seized contraband was being transported from Patna to Shillong, disguised as legitimate parcels through the courier service. The godown’s operator, Biplab Mazumder, who also serves as the operational manager for the courier firm, has been detained for interrogation to uncover more details about the smuggling network.
This decisive action by the Assam Police highlights the ongoing battle against drug smuggling in the region. With further investigations underway, authorities are determined to dismantle the network and curb the illegal distribution of such substances. This operation underscores the police’s commitment to maintaining law and order and tackling illicit activities that threaten the safety and well-being of the community.
