Assam: 21 gm of heroin, 10,000 Yaba tablets seized, 2 arrested

Guwahati, May 23: Two persons have been arrested and 21 gm of heroin and 10,000 Yaba tablets seized from their possession in Assam’s Cachar district, officials said on Saturday.

They said the seizure and arrests were made from a boat on Barak River on Friday.

“Intercepting a mechanised boat on the Barak River at Lakhipur yesterday, @cacharpolice seized 10,000 Yaba tablets and 21 g of heroin alongside two arrests,” the chief minister’s office (CMO) said in an X post.

“HCM Dr. @himantabiswa has applauded the operational team for their alertness,” it added.

Yaba tablets are illegal in India as they contain methamphetamine, a Schedule II substance under the Controlled Substances Act. (PTI)
