Arunachal: Drug peddler apprehended in Ziro, heroin recovered

Itanagar, May 3 (UNI) In a major breakthrough in the fight against drug trafficking under Operation Dawn 2.0, the Ziro Police apprehended an alleged drug peddler and seized a substantial quantity of suspected heroin from his possession on Friday, a senior officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off received late on the night of Thursday, the police formed a team comprising SDPO Ojing Lego, Sub-Inspectors J Yomcha, J Doye, K Yigam, ASI C Tallo, and constable A Babla, under the close supervision of SP Keni Bagra.
The accused Toko Tath alias Bishnu’s location was tracked using technical surveillance and field intelligence, eventually leading the team to a rented apartment near the Sumo counter in Hapoli.
Though no contraband was initially found during a body search, Toko Tath was detained and brought to Ziro Police Station for interrogation. On further questioning, he disclosed that the contraband was hidden in his rented residence.
Acting swiftly on this information and accompanied by Executive Magistrate Mide Bage, the police team conducted a thorough search of the premises. The search led to the recovery of 22 plastic vials containing suspected heroin (totaling 28.9 grams), 36 empty vials, and 10 new syringes in a transparent packet.
A case has been registered under Sections 21(a)/27(a) of the NDPS Act, the SP said, adding that further investigation is currently underway.
