SRIBHOOMI: A specialized police team executed a raid in the Patel Nagar area, where they apprehended two vehicles and uncovered 76,000 Yaba tablets cleverly hidden in secret compartments. This operation was part of ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region. 

The three offenders, identified as Hossain Ahmed and Abdullah Khair from Cachar District and Nizam Uddin from Katigora, were taken into custody regarding the drug smuggling operation. 

As said by SP Das’s statement, the confiscated drugs were bound for Patharkandi and were associated with a broader distribution system.

This substantial seizure highlights the unwavering commitment of the Sri Bhumi police in their fight against the escalating threat of drug trafficking in the area. The authorities are dedicated to dismantling such networks and holding the offenders accountable.

Meanwhile, earlier, the Karimganj police arrested a senior education supervisor for operating a large-scale drug trade in the district. The mastermind behind the operation was identified as Sumeru Nath, who held a significant position as the Cluster Resource Centre Coordinator under the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan Program.

He was captured by the police on November 6 after a major drug confiscation in Badarpur. Partha Pratim Das, Superintendent of Police, led the inquiry and caught the other four drug traffickers. As per the interrogation, it was disclosed that Nath was the architect behind the illicit drug racket.

As per reports, the offender was involved in the trafficking of drugs for a long time. His involvement raises alarming questions about organized crime’s infiltration in the region, emphasizing the convergence of education and crime.

This proactive approach highlights the commitment of Dhubri police to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. With swift action and a sustained focus, they aim to make the district a safer place by eradicating the influence of drugs.
