A joint operation by the Special Task Force (STF) and Kamrup Police has resulted in the seizure of heroin worth an estimated Rs 3 crore in Amingaon, in what officials are calling a significant strike against drug trafficking in the region.
The operation was launched based on specific intelligence inputs received by the team.

Acting on the tip-off, the team intercepted a Maruti Ertiga and conducted a thorough search of the vehicle.
The contraband was found concealed inside the car's door panels — a deliberate attempt to hide the drugs from detection. Police recovered 25 soap boxes packed with heroin, with the total haul weighing approximately 350 grams.
Two individuals were taken into custody in connection with the case. Both are from Churachandpur and have been identified as Lamminthang Haokip and Ginkglholal Haokip.
The case is currently under investigation.
