Acting on specific intelligence, the team intercepted Ali and recovered 1,000 Yaba tablets from his possession, with the total consignment weighing approximately 105 grams. Yaba, a highly addictive combination of methamphetamine and caffeine, has increasingly emerged as a concern for law enforcement agencies across Assam in recent times due to its rising circulation in the region.
Following the seizure, police have initiated legal action against the accused, and further investigation is underway to trace the source of the contraband and identify any other individuals connected to the supply chain.
Guwahati Police shared visuals of the arrest and seized tablets on X, tagging the Chief Minister's Office, Assam Police, and senior officials, reaffirming the administration's continued commitment to curbing drug trafficking in the state.
