Assam authorities confiscated a Yaba drug shipment valued at ₹10 crore, originating from Mizoram, during a routine operation.
Assam police have seized a large consignment of Yaba, a stimulant drug, worth approximately ₹10 crore during a routine operation. The seized batch was traced back to Mizoram, indicating a cross-state trafficking route. The operation was carried out by the Assam Police's Anti-Narcotics Squad, which monitored suspicious movements in the region.
Yaba, commonly known as 'cocaine' in India, is a potent stimulant that has been linked to a rise in drug abuse cases across the Northeast. The seizure is part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking that has seen increased coordination between state police forces and the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Police officials said that the confiscated drugs were found in a sealed container at a transit point in Assam. The authorities are investigating the supply chain and are working to identify the individuals involved in the smuggling network.
This operation underscores the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to curb the flow of illicit drugs into the country, especially from neighboring states. The seized drugs will be processed for forensic analysis and the case will be forwarded to the appropriate judicial authorities for prosecution.
