Some objectionable items along with brown sugar packets were recovered from their procession.

The people of Golaghat have time and again expressed concern over the increasing use of ganja, drugs and alcoholic substances in Golaghat district. They demanded the district administration and police administration to bust the drug rackets in Merapani, Islampur, Krishnasami gaon and Merapani town and in Golaghat town, Kumarpatty, Santipur, and Bengenakhowa areas. Although several operations have been carried out against drug abuse, Golaghat Police have not been able to root out this problem.
