Assam’s Hojai district police seized brown sugar worth about Rs 1 crore on Tuesday and arrested a person.
As a result of a tip-off, the police seized 983 gm of brown sugar from a house in Lumding’s South Hill Colony. A person, identified as Deabash Hore, was arrested, the report said.
He had allegedly brought the drugs from Dimapur to Hojai by train to sell them, police said.
According to police, Hore transported the drugs by train from Dimapur in Nagaland to Hojai in Assam. According to authorities, he planned to sell the brown sugar in Assam’s Hojai area. Significantly, Assam police initiated a significant crackdown on the illegal drug trade last year.
According to reports, Haque was smuggling illegal substances from Dimapur to Hojai using the Assam Express train. Meanwhile, a lawsuit has been filed against him under the NDPS Act. An investigation into the matter is currently underway.
