In a swift and decisive late-night operation spearheaded by Margherita Sub-Divisional Police Officer Sambhavi Mishra (IPS), a husband-wife duo was apprehended in Udaipur, Jagun, under Tinsukia district. The operation targeted Gopal Chhetri, a resident of Udaipur Kuhianbari village under Lekhapani police station.
Acting on actionable intelligence and executing a meticulously planned covert operation, the police team successfully detained Gopal Chhetri, suspected of orchestrating the transportation of banned drugs from Manipur for an extended period. The confiscated quantity of banned drugs, estimated to be worth approximately Rs 3 lakh, underscores the alarming magnitude of the illicit drug trade thriving in the region.
In a significant development, Gopal Chhetri’s wife was also taken into custody on suspicion of her involvement in her husband’s alleged drug trafficking activities. This joint arrest exemplifies law enforcement’s unwavering resolve to dismantle drug networks and bring perpetrators to justice.
Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Jagun, Udaipur Sugarcanebari village, part of the Tinsukia district in Assam, has recently garnered attention for all the wrong reasons, with some residents tarnishing its tranquil reputation through their regrettable involvement in illegal drug trafficking activities.
