In one major operation, the Railway Protection Force (RPF), in coordination with other agencies, seized 217 bottles of narcotic cough syrup from Agartala Railway Station and arrested four persons in connection with the case. The raid was carried out based on specific inputs, and the arrested individuals are suspected to be part of a network involved in illegal transportation of contraband substances. Legal proceedings have been initiated under relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, and further investigation is underway to trace the supply chain and intended recipients.  

In a separate incident, East Agartala Police arrested a drug peddler identified as Suman Das from the Aralia Shalbagan area following sustained surveillance. Acting on a tip-off, police raided his residence and recovered 6.2 grams of brown sugar, 800 Yaba tablets, ₹3,200 in cash, and three mobile phones. The accused was apprehended on the spot and later produced before a court, with police seeking remand for further interrogation.

Police officials stated that both operations are part of an intensified drive to curb the growing drug menace in Tripura. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to continue such raid to dismantle drug trafficking networks and ensure stricter enforcement against offenders.
