Dibrugarh, August 24: In a significant operation against drug trafficking, police in Dibrugarh, Assam, have arrested a notorious drug trafficker. The operation took place late at night in the Jokai Chabbis Gharian village under the Barbaruah police station.
Led by CDSP Amit Ranjan Barman from Khowang, the police seized 966 grams of suspected cannabis from the accused. Additionally, cash amounting to ₹1,44,270, believed to be earnings from drug sales, was also recovered.
Authorities confiscated a mobile phone, a digital weighing machine, zip-lock packaging materials, and several other incriminating items from the suspect. This operation has dealt a significant blow to the accused’s entire network, halting his distribution activities.
Earlier, on August 23, security forces achieved another major success by capturing a prominent militant from the banned organization ‘People’s Liberation Army’ (PLA) during a joint operation with the Assam Rifles and Manipur police. The militant, Thiam Boycha Singh alias Balin, had a bounty of ₹4 lakh on his head.
According to a spokesperson from the defense department, the 28-year-old was arrested on Saturday night in Thoubal district’s Ushoi Pokpi. This successful operation was based on precise intelligence regarding the militant’s presence in Bishnupur district, leading to a targeted search operation that resulted in his capture.
During questioning, he identified himself as a captain of the PLA and was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He is also the main accused in the attack on November 13, 2021, in Churachandpur district, which resulted in the deaths of Colonel Vipul Tripathi, his family members, and other soldiers.
