Assam: Dhubri Police Arrest Youth in Drug Bust, Seize Suspected Heroin

DHUBRI: In an important raid on drug-related activities, Dhubri police arrested a youth, Shahrukh Ali, and confiscated suspected heroin and a mobile phone. Ali, who is a resident of Ward No. 8 of Bidyapara, was arrested by a team headed by Sub-Inspector Jyotirmoy Das.

Reports show that Ali was reportedly attempting to buy illicit drugs when police intervened. Police found six containers suspected to contain heroin as well as a cell phone that might yield more information about what he was doing.

However, another individual, suspected to be a drug peddler, managed to evade capture by fleeing in an e-rickshaw before police could detain him. Authorities have initiated a search operation to locate the escaping suspect, and the vehicle used in the getaway.

Police are now trying to expose the larger drug network and whether there are any links to bigger trafficking operations in the region. This is part of the sustained efforts by local police to counter the drug menace in Dhubri, after earlier successful raids on drug trafficking.

Police have also called upon members of the community to be watchful and report anything suspicious to help in the eradication of drug-related offenses in the area. The authorities are determined to make the community safe and healthy through proactive action.
