Police have arrested eight youths in a series of anti-drug raids in Agartala over the past two days. Heroin and other narcotic substances were seized from them, police said.
Officers and personnel of three police stations, led by city SDPO Ramesh Chandra Yadav, participated in coordinated raids at four locations in the city based on specific tip-off.
“We have recovered about 106 gm brown sugar (heroin) and other narcotic substances from the detained persons,” Mr. Yadav told reporters on Monday. They were allegedly involved in drug peddling. Police slapped various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act against them.
Four two-wheelers and 13 mobile phone sets allegedly used in drug peddling were also seized from them.
