Police seize drugs worth Rs 4 lakh, arrest smuggler in Manipur’s Imphal

A pharmacy in Imphal was raided on Friday afternoon, and the authorities recovered around 9,000 pills labeled as Paracetamol on the outside and M 10 tablets when the packages were opened.

The narcotics were seized when the police apprehended a suspected smuggler in Lilong, some 11 kilometers from Imphal. According to the police, he was detained when the owner of Kharsa Medicos in Imphal filed a complaint with the City police station.

In addition, the police confiscated 929 grams of brown sugar packaged in 30 soap containers from the Moreh Nepali Basti neighborhood on Thursday at 3.45 p.m. during a surprise frisking operation.
