Police in Champhai, Mizoram, detained two men from Assam carrying 576 grams of heroin.
Police in the border town of Champhai, Mizoram, apprehended two individuals identified as residents of Assam while they were in possession of 576 grams of heroin. The seizure was made during a routine check by local law‑enforcement officers.
The seized narcotic, weighing more than half a kilogram, is believed to be part of a larger trafficking network operating across the northeastern states. Authorities have not disclosed the exact method of transport or the intended destination of the drugs.
Both suspects have been taken into custody for further interrogation, and the case has been handed over to the state crime branch for detailed investigation. No additional arrests or seizures were reported in connection with this operation.
The Mizoram police have reiterated their commitment to curbing drug trafficking in the region, especially along the Assam‑Mizoram border, which is a known transit route for illicit substances.
Legal proceedings are expected to follow, with the accused likely to face charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
