Tripura police, in coordination with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), carried out a raid that resulted in the seizure of eight kilograms of Yaba, a methamphetamine-based stimulant. The drug batch has been assessed at a street value of roughly Rs 3.2 crore.
During the operation, authorities apprehended three individuals suspected of involvement in the trafficking network. The suspects are currently in police custody and are being interrogated for further leads.
