The seized supari has an estimated market value of approximately Rs 50 lakh.
Police authorities are conducting further interrogations in connection with this incident, emphasizing their commitment to combat illegal activities in the region.
Earlier on September 10, the Hailakandi police conducted a successful raid targeting the illegal trade of Burmese supari.
The authorities intercepted a suspicious truck, which turned out to be carrying 39 sacks of this contraband substance.
The police, in a high-speed chase, managed to seize the superpower truck, preventing the illegal transport of the supari from Mizoram to other states.
The market value of the seized Burmese supari is estimated to be around Rs 8 lakh.
