Siliguri, 17th June: A major drug bust was reported in Siliguri’s Tikia Para area on Monday evening, where Siliguri police arrested a youth with 300 grams of brown sugar. The accused has been identified as Mohammad Kalam.
Reports indicate that the drugs were hidden inside his house and were being prepared for sale. Police raided the premises and seized the narcotics, which are estimated to be worth several lakhs of rupees.
Sources suggest that the accused had been involved in drug trafficking for a long time, and this arrest may be linked to a broader smuggling network.
The police are currently interrogating Kalam to uncover other individuals associated with the racket and determine the extent of its spread. He was produced before the Siliguri court on Tuesday.
