SILCHAR: Another kingpin of Burmese betel nut (supari) syndicate Zakir Hussain Laskar has been arrested by Cachar police on Wednesday. Zakir was declared 'wanted' by police after it started an all-out operation against various syndicates operating in the district which is being used as a corridor for smuggling out betel nut procured from Myanmar through neighbouring state Mizoram. Cachar police had already nabbed a few big players of the racket.

Meanwhile, another two leading traders in smuggled supari Kartik Paul and Dipankar Deb who were also arrested by the district police had been reportedly summoned by Guwahati city police in connection with another case. Sources said, both Paul and Deb would be taken to Guwahati for further interrogation.
