Methamphetamine worth Rs.32.53 crore seized
Mizoram Police arrested two drug peddlers, including a woman, in one of the largest seizures this year, seizing drugs valued at over Rs.32.53 crore, according to police statements on Saturday.
The 115.55 kg Methamphetamine tablets (also called Yaba tablets or party tablets), were contained in 106 packets.
Acting on a tip-off, police intercepted a Bolero car traveling from Champhai district to Aizawl and confiscated 10,70,600 Methamphetamine tablets, valued at over Rs.32.11 crore, known for their highly addictive properties.
Drug peddler Lalrintluanga (50), who was the owner of the vehicle, was driving the vehicle. He confessed to the police that he with the help of the Myanmar smugglers imported the drugs from across the border.
In another incident, police recovered 1429 grams of heroin, valued at over Rs.42.87 lakh from one vehicle and arrested Lalduhawmi (27) near Zokhawthar Play Ground in the same Champhai district.
Police registered separate cases under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act 1985.
Out of 11 districts in Mizoram, most of the smuggling of drugs, explosives, and other contraband from Myanmar takes place through the Champhai District.
Methamphetamine tablets contain a mix of methamphetamine and caffeine and are largely misused as high-dosage drugs in Bangladesh and neighbouring countries, besides India.
