Arunachal: Woman drug peddler arrested, 17.2 gm of suspected heroin seized

Itanagar, Apr 27 (UNI) In a major breakthrough in the fight against narcotics, the Ziro Police team, under the guidance of Lower Subansiri district Superintendent of Police Keni Bagra, arrested a woman allegedly involved in drug peddling.
Acting on a credible information that one Chiging Rillung (50) was in possession of contraband substances and operating from her rented apartment near the Medical Colony, a swift operation was launched by a team comprising Sub-Inspectors J Yomcha, J Doye, ASI C Tallo, and constables T Param and C Seema, under the supervision of SDPO Ziro.
Upon thorough search of the premises, the team recovered 13 plastic vials containing suspected heroin weighing 17.2 grams from her possession.
