Overview
- Dibrugarh police conducted coordinated surprise raids that, according to officials, led to the arrest of 10 suspected traffickers and the seizure of about 79.55 grams of suspected heroin.
- The operation recovered Rs 4,92,710 in cash, four vehicles, multiple mobile phones, dozens of syringes and several gold ornaments that police say are likely proceeds of narcotics sales.
- The raids were intelligence‑led and focused on abandoned railway colony quarters near Dibrugarh Town station, but the alleged kingpin reportedly escaped and remains at large.
- In a separate action, police arrested Ruhini Koch after seizing 4.83 kilograms of suspected ganja, and Duliajan police have registered FIRs under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita that have led to multiple arrests of regional organisation leaders for alleged abduction, assault and extortion.
- Authorities have written to the Divisional Railway Manager to evict illegal settlements on railway land and say further arrests and seizures are expected as investigations trace wider supply networks and financial trails.
