Guwahati: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking and property-related crimes, a team from Basistha Police Station under the East Guwahati Police District (EGPD) arrested a woman during a raid at Amtola Basti in Byrnihat, recovering heroin, suspected stolen electronic devices and cash.
According to an official post shared by Guwahati Police on X, the accused has been identified as Nehar Begum (30). Police alleged that she was involved in drug peddling and was also a receiver of stolen goods.
During the operation, the police recovered 67 vials of heroin weighing approximately 78 grams, 214 empty vials, nine suspected stolen mobile phones, one suspected stolen tablet, one suspected stolen laptop, and ₹1,36,080 in cash. All the recovered items were seized as part of the investigation.
Police said legal action has been initiated against the accused under the relevant provisions of law. Investigators are also working to trace the source of the seized narcotics, verify the ownership of the recovered electronic devices, and identify any other individuals who may be linked to the case.
The operation was carried out as part of Assam Police’s ongoing #WarOnDrugs campaign, which aims to curb drug trafficking and dismantle criminal networks involved in the illegal narcotics trade. Guwahati Police has intensified enforcement measures in recent months, conducting regular raids and taking action against those allegedly involved in drug-related offences.
The latest seizure underscores the continued efforts of Assam Police to combat drug abuse and associated criminal activities while strengthening law enforcement across the state.
