Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaNovember 8, 2023

A twenty-six year old woman was arrested from a slum area of Sweeper lane by the police anti-narcotic task force (ANTF).

99.21 grams of heroin, 51 empty vials, 13 soap cases, 1 mobile phone and 1 Aadhaar card were seized from her possession, SP (City) Vivek Syiem said in a statement on Wednesday.

“The drug supplier is the same one which appeared on the video at GS Road near Bimola Junction which had gone viral and caused public consternation for open sale of drugs,” he said while adding that hunt is also on for other drug suppliers in the area.

A case has been registered at the Shillong Sadar police station under NDPS Act.
