Melli, June 25 : As part of the ongoing Nasha Mukht Bharat Abhiyan, Melli Police achieved another significant breakthrough by recovering a substantial quantity of suspected brown sugar during a targeted operation at the Melli Check Post.

According to police officials, the operation was carried out by a team from Melli Police Station under the leadership of Police Inspector Gaurav Gautam after receiving credible intelligence regarding suspected drug movement.

Following all mandatory legal procedures and in the presence of a Gazetted Officer as well as independent witnesses, police conducted a search that resulted in the recovery of approximately 40 grams of suspected brown sugar from the possession of the accused.

The two individuals arrested have been identified as Nikhil Mukhia (32), son of Raju Mukhia and a resident of Jorethang, and Dinesh Gurung (29), son of Nanda Lal Gurung and a resident of Sardong in Gyalshing district.

Police have registered a case under the relevant provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Further investigation is in progress to determine the source of the seized contraband and identify any wider network linked to the case.

Melli Police reiterated its commitment to the objectives of the Nasha Mukht Bharat Abhiyan and urged members of the public to continue cooperating with law enforcement agencies by sharing information that can help curb drug trafficking and promote a safer, drug-free society.
