According to sources, during regular 'naka' checking, the drugs were recovered from a secret chamber of the night superbus (bearing registration number MN06B-0511). "The bus originated in Moreh in Manipur," said the sources.

The drugs were meant to be headed to the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. "Two women from Tamil Nadu – Lashmi D and Punjabhiram – and the bus driver from Manipur, Khoiram Basanta Singha, have been apprehended in this connection," police sources said, adding, "These are mere couriers. The biggest challenge before us is to identify their handlers, expose the persons behind this inter-state and international drug racket, and arrest them."
