Acting on a tip-off, officials of CID’s narcotics unit along with Dakshin Dinajpur’s detective unit raided the district headquarters and arrested the man from Balurghat public bus stand on Wednesday, he said. “The accused was involved in transporting drugs from one state to another. He was carrying Yaba pills worth Rs 20 lakh from Assam’s Dhubri area and planned to transfer the contraband to another person in Malda. We are trying to find other people connected with him,” said the official of the UKMK. The man was convicted under various sections of the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985, he said.
Yaba pills, a so-called “crazy drug” containing a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine, have been banned in India.
