Assam police confiscated 2,000 yaba tablets in Cachar district and detained two individuals linked to the haul, officials said.
State police in Assam reported a large-scale drug bust in the Cachar district, where investigators recovered approximately 2,000 tablets of yaba, a potent methamphetamine derivative. The seizure was made during a coordinated operation that targeted a suspected narcotics network operating in the region.
According to officials, two men were apprehended at the scene and are being held for further questioning. Both suspects are alleged to have been involved in the procurement and distribution of the seized tablets, which are commonly trafficked across the northeastern states.
The police have not disclosed the exact location of the raid or the identities of the arrested individuals, citing ongoing investigations. Authorities indicated that the confiscated batch will be sent to a forensic laboratory for analysis, and legal proceedings will follow under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
This operation underscores the continued focus of law‑enforcement agencies on curbing the flow of synthetic drugs in the region, which have been linked to rising addiction rates and related crimes.
Further updates will be provided as the case progresses, including any additional arrests or seizures linked to the same network.
