Cachar Senior Superintendent of Police Partha Protim Das said two individuals were taken into custody in connection with the seizure. The arrested persons have been identified as Dalim Uddin Laskar and Abed Sultan Barbhuiya, both residents of the Dholai police station area.

According to police, the truck, bearing registration number AS-01FC-0018, was travelling from a neighbouring state towards Guwahati when it was intercepted. “Legal proceedings have been initiated and efforts are underway to trace both the source and destination networks linked to the consignment,” SSP Das said.

Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the law and further investigation is in progress to uncover the wider drug trafficking network involved.
