Police in Jairampur, Arunachal Pradesh, seized 186 grams of heroin and arrested two women during a drug bust.
In a recent operation in the border town of Jairampur, Arunachal Pradesh, law‑enforcement agencies intercepted a substantial quantity of heroin. Officers recovered 186 grams of the narcotic and placed two women in custody as part of the raid.
The two detainees were found in possession of the seized drugs, which were later handed over to the narcotics control department for forensic analysis. The women are currently being questioned to uncover the source of the heroin and any possible links to larger trafficking networks.
Police officials indicated that the seizure underscores a rising trend of drug movement through the northeastern corridor, prompting heightened vigilance in the region. Further investigations are underway to identify additional suspects and prevent future smuggling attempts.
The case adds to ongoing efforts by state and central agencies to curb illicit drug trade in the sensitive border areas of the Northeast, where trafficking routes often exploit remote terrain and porous borders.
