DRI deals major blow to Myanmar-linked drug smuggling network; seizes huge consignment of 50 kg methamphetamine tablets and crystal meth in North-East; four arrested

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), with assistance from the Assam Rifles, conducted intelligence-led operations in Mizoram and Assam, seizing 50 kg of methamphetamine (comprising 30 kg of tablets and 20 kg of crystal meth) and arresting four individuals under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The operations revealed innovative concealment methods, including hiding drugs inside a specially constructed cavity in an office table and inside tea packets with foreign markings. Preliminary investigations indicate the drugs were smuggled from Myanmar.
