In a night-long operation carried out in Shillong yesterday, police busted a drug trafficking gang and seized heroin valued at Rs 1 crore.
During the operation, four drug traffickers were arrested and cash of Rs 45,000 was also seized from them.
Director General of Police (DGP), Lajja Ram Bishnoi took to X to laud the efforts of the East Khasi Hills police for their successful operation in dismantling the drug trafficking gang in Shillong.
Meghalaya is slowly emerging as the transit point for distribution of heroin.
The rise in theft cases in many parts of the State especially Shillong has also been attributed to the growing numbers of drug users, particularly among the youth, who commit such crimes to satiate their cravings for drugs.
