Police in Kalgachia, Assam, seized 12.64 grams of suspected narcotics and detained the alleged peddler.
Police officials in Kalgachia, a town in Assam's Barpeta district, reported the arrest of an individual suspected of dealing narcotics. The suspect was apprehended after officers discovered 12.64 grams of substances believed to be illegal drugs during a routine check.
According to the statement released by the local police, the seized material is being examined by forensic experts to confirm its composition. The quantity, while relatively small, is sufficient to invoke charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Investigators said the case is part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking in the region, which has seen a rise in seizures over the past year. The arrested individual will be produced before the magistrate, and further inquiries will determine any additional accomplices or networks involved.
