Senapati, Jan 7, 2026: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, a joint team of the Special Operations Team (SOT) and D-78 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) seized a large quantity of suspected opium during routine frisking and checking along National Highway-2.
The operation was carried out at Nepali Khuti at around 4:30 pm on Monday. During the checking, the joint team intercepted a Bolero vehicle bearing registration number AS-01-DS-9963. On thorough inspection, suspected opium was found concealed inside the spare tyre of the vehicle, indicating a deliberate attempt to smuggle contraband.
In the presence of an Executive Magistrate, the recovered substance was weighed and found to be 11.264 kg. The suspected opium, along with the vehicle and mobile phones recovered from the accused, was lawfully seized following due procedure.
The accused was later handed over to Senapati Police Station for further investigation and legal action as per the law.
Security officials said the successful operation highlights the strong coordination, alertness, and commitment of the security forces in curbing drug trafficking and protecting society from the growing menace of narcotics.
