Barpeta: In another major breakthrough against the rising drug menace, Barpeta Road Police have once again struck a blow to the drug mafia operating in the region. Acting on a tip-off from a confidential source, a team led by Officer Shyamal Jyoti Saikia conducted a successful raid and recovered eight drug-filled containers. The source of the contraband has been identified as Arshad Ali, a resident of Azad Nagar.
The operation not only led to the recovery of the drugs but also resulted in the arrest of a new suspect, adding to the growing list of individuals under investigation in connection with the drug trade. During further inquiries, police were also able to identify another suspected drug dealer operating within Barpeta, indicating the deep-rooted nature of the illegal network.
The recent arrests have sparked a wave of optimism among the local population. Many citizens have expressed relief and appreciation for the police's persistent efforts and are calling on others to support the authorities in fighting the ongoing drug crisis. Community leaders are urging residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement to protect the future of the city’s youth.
This comes just days after another successful operation on July 13, when Barpeta Road Police apprehended Babul Ali in Domoni with nine containers of illegal substances in his possession. These back-to-back successes underscore the growing momentum of anti-drug enforcement in the region.
Authorities have reiterated their commitment to continuing the crackdown on narcotics and have warned those involved in the illegal drug trade to expect swift action.
