The paramilitary Assam Rifles seized 9,500 Yaba tablets valued at about Rs 38 lakh during an operation in Tripura, detaining one suspect.
Assam Rifles announced that a large cache of illegal stimulant tablets was seized in Tripura. The force recovered 9,500 tablets of Yaba, a form of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of Rs 38 lakh.
The tablets were intercepted during a coordinated anti‑drug operation carried out by the paramilitary unit in the state’s border areas, which are known transit points for narcotics entering the Northeast.
Authorities detained a single individual in connection with the haul. The suspect is being held for further questioning while forensic teams examine the seized material.
The seizure underscores the ongoing crackdown on drug trafficking in the region, where Yaba has become a growing concern for law‑enforcement agencies due to its addictive properties and the threat it poses to public health.
