Myanmar National Arrested in Mizoram with 3.4kg of Suspected Heroin

In a recent operation carried out by the special branch of the Mizoram Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID), one Myanmar national was apprehended with 3.4 kg of suspected heroin. The incident took place in Aizawl, the capital city of Mizoram, which is located in the northeastern part of India.

The operation was launched on a Sunday evening based on specific information received by the officials. The drugs were seized from a two-wheeler in Aizawl, adding to the growing concern of drug trafficking in the region.

Arrest and Identification

The arrested individual has been identified as CT Liana, a 25-year-old resident of Myanmar’s Tahan area. Documents recovered from the scene indicate his nationality, leading officials to believe that the narcotics are also of Myanmar origin.

Upon inspection of the vehicle, the police discovered the suspected heroin hidden inside ‘secret chambers’. A total of 311 soap cases containing the illicit substance were recovered from the two-wheeler. Experts are currently examining the seized drugs to gather more evidence.

Concerns and Past Incidents

Senior officials of the Mizoram police have expressed their worries about the increasing amount of narcotics being smuggled into the state. In the recent past, a significant number of Myanmar nationals have been arrested in connection with drug trafficking activities in Mizoram.

Not only Mizoram, but neighbouring states like Assam have also been affected by the influx of drugs from Myanmar. Reports suggest that large quantities of drugs, including heroin and Yaba tablets, have been confiscated by the authorities, highlighting the presence of a well-organized international drug racket in the region.

A senior police officer stated that local individuals are often used as carriers to transport the illegal substances across borders. This raises concerns about the involvement of residents in such criminal activities and the need for stricter surveillance measures.

As investigations continue into the recent drug seizure in Aizawl, the authorities are working tirelessly to dismantle the drug trafficking networks operating in the region. The collaboration between law enforcement agencies from different states is crucial in addressing the transnational nature of the drug trade and ensuring the safety and security of the local communities.
