In a significant breakthrough against illegal arms and narcotics trafficking, the Assam Rifles, in coordination with Cachar Police, carried out a successful joint operation in the Jurkhal area of Cachar on April 20, 2026. The operation led to the recovery of a substantial cache of arms, drugs, and cash, and the detention of one suspect.<\/p>\n
According to an official statement shared by Assam Rifles on X (formerly Twitter), the operation was launched based on specific intelligence inputs generated from their own sources and further corroborated by the Assam Rifles Field Intelligence Unit (ARFIU). Acting swiftly on this intelligence, security personnel conducted a targeted search in the general area of Jurkhal, which resulted in the major seizure.<\/p>\n
During the operation, security forces recovered one .32 caliber pistol and an airgun fitted with a telescopic sight, indicating potential illegal possession and use of firearms. In addition to the weapons, a large quantity of narcotics was seized, including approximately 10,000 Yaba tablets\u2014estimated to have a market value of around \u20b93.12 crore\u2014and 23 grams of heroin.<\/p>\n
Authorities also recovered cash amounting to \u20b914.9 lakh along with a mobile handset, which is expected to provide further leads during the investigation.<\/p>\n
One individual was detained at the scene in connection with the seizure. The detained suspect has been handed over to Cachar Police for further legal proceedings and interrogation. Officials stated that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend other individuals who may be involved in the network.<\/p>\n
Security agencies believe that the recovered consignment points to an organized network involved in the trafficking of narcotics and illegal arms in the region. The operation is being seen as a major success in ongoing efforts to curb cross-border smuggling and criminal activities in Assam and the Northeast.<\/p>\n
Further investigation is currently in progress to uncover the broader links of the racket and ensure that all those involved are brought to justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
