Personnel from the Ledo Police Outpost apprehended a suspected drug dealer, Deepak Mahato, during a targeted operation on the evening of December 28. The police, led by Outpost in-charge Roshan Thapa, executed the operation based on specific intelligence near the railway tracks adjacent to Ledo Market in the Margherita Co-District.
During the operation, authorities seized 12.28 grams of prohibited substances from Mahato, who was taken into custody. Initial interrogations revealed that he allegedly acquired the drugs from a known supplier, Bablu Khan, a resident of Chipe Gaon in Ledo. Khan is suspected of being part of a larger drug trafficking network in the area.
In light of Mahato’s arrest, local residents have called on the police to ramp up their efforts against drug trafficking and to expedite the capture of Bablu Khan, who is reputed to be a notorious supplier in the Margherita Co-District. Police officials have stated that further investigations are underway to trace the drug supply chain and to identify additional individuals involved in this illegal trade.
