Assam: Illicit Narcotics Seized In Golaghat, One Held

GOLAGHAT: Acting on a tip-off, a team from Golaghat Police conducted a raid at a residence in the Forest Block area under the jurisdiction of Merapani Police Station. During the search, authorities uncovered 796 Samex+ tablets concealed inside the body of a female drug peddler. The illicit substances were promptly seized, and legal proceedings have been initiated against the accused.   

Earlier, in a shocking incident on Monday morning, a father and his 12-year-old son were caught allegedly selling drugs at Bhaga Bazar near the Assam-Mizoram border. Locals discovered a disturbing new tactic in drug dealing using minors to carry and distribute drugs.

According to eyewitnesses, the father had hidden small plastic containers filled with heroin in his son’s pockets and was selling them in the market. Suspicious locals checked the boy’s pocket and found the concealed drugs. Enraged, they caught the duo and began beating them.

Amid the chaos, the father escaped on a scooter, and shortly after, the son took advantage of the distraction and fled as well. Police arrived at the scene after receiving reports of the incident, and locals handed over nine small containers filled with heroin, which were recovered from the father and son. The police have now launched a manhunt for the duo.
