Earlier, on Thursday night, the NCC police station arrested seven drug smugglers from the capital with brown sugar and cough syrup bottles worth Rs 10 lakh.
A vehicle laden with banned goods has been seized near the Tufanialunga area in Agartala, the capital of Tripura. It is being told that a large quantity of cough syrup has been recovered from this vehicle, which was being taken for smuggling.
SDPO Piya Madhuri Mazumdar said, “We have seized a vehicle laden with around 3,100 bottles of cough syrup worth around Rs 12 lakh, which were to be smuggled. Though no arrest has been made in this case so far but the investigation is on.”
Acting on the basis of a specific tip, the vehicle was seized and brought to the police station. “The consignment was smuggled in and was to be distributed in Agartala and its surrounding area,” Majumdar said. Cough syrup is a profitable item of the drug racket as it is very popular among the youth who consume it as a substitute for liquor. After the prohibition of alcohol, drug addicted youth have started using many liquid drugs as an alternative to alcohol.
These drugs contain ingredients like Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Codeine Phosphate, which, if consumed in overdoses harm the body. Majumdar said, “Though the police could not arrest the driver of the vehicle, they are confident that they will get all the information about the vehicle along with its registration number and reach the drug racket.” This is the second incident of drug seizure in Agartala in less than 24 hours.
