In a significant breakthrough, the Dilai police have successfully intercepted a major drug trafficking operation, seizing approximately 2 kg of morphine with an estimated market value of Rs 2 crore. The police also recovered Rs 1 lakh in cash from the accused.

According to reports, the police stopped a Wagon-R vehicle (AS 09 K 7808) on its way from Dimapur Super Market to Muzaffarpur, Bihar. During the search, a large quantity of morphine was found in the vehicle.

Three individuals, identified as Pritam Ingleng from Diphu, Rupchung Bongrum from West Karbi Anglong, and Mohammad Hakim from Bihar, were arrested in connection with the seizure. Notably, Mohammad Hakim is an employee of the Indian Railway's Accounts Department in Assam.
