Tripura police seized 777 kilograms of cannabis, valued at more than Rs 15 crore, in a raid close to the Bangladesh border.
Tripura police announced the seizure of 777 kilograms of cannabis in an operation conducted near the state’s border with Bangladesh. Officials said the haul, estimated to be worth over Rs 15 crore, was intercepted during a routine check of vehicles suspected of carrying illicit substances.
The confiscated batch is among the largest drug busts recorded in the northeastern region in recent years, underscoring the persistent challenge of cross‑border narcotics trafficking. Authorities have launched a detailed investigation to trace the supply chain and identify the network behind the shipment.
Law enforcement agencies in Tripura have repeatedly highlighted the vulnerability of border districts to smuggling activities. The seized cannabis will be processed as evidence, and the individuals involved are expected to face strict legal action under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
The operation reflects coordinated efforts between state police and central agencies to curb the flow of illegal drugs into India, particularly through porous border stretches with neighboring countries.
