Manipur police arrested two suspected insurgent members and seized 745 bottles of codeine syrup during a raid, authorities said.
Manipur police announced the arrest of two individuals alleged to be part of an insurgent outfit during a coordinated operation. The suspects were taken into custody after officers intercepted a convoy suspected of transporting illicit pharmaceutical products.
During the same raid, law enforcement officials recovered 745 bottles of codeine syrup, a narcotic often diverted for non‑medical use. The large quantity points to a possible organized network supplying the drug in the region.
Police spokesperson said the detainees will face charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act as well as provisions related to insurgency. Investigations are ongoing to trace the source of the seized medicine and to determine any links to broader illegal activities.
