Bihar police just pulled off a major win against drug trafficking in Araria, arresting six people during Operation Prahar on November 13.
They seized 4.08kg of smack and chemicals used in its manufacture (worth more than ₹25 crore on the international market) plus a black Scorpio without a registration number, six mobile phones, and a digital scale.
Police suspect international syndicate link
The crackdown began with Ismail Sheikh's arrest near NH-27, leading officers to Riyaz Ansari in Jogbani.
In another raid, Rinku Mahaldar was found with 1.416kg of smack on a bus from Purnea.
Finally, three more suspects (Nabeerul and Ramjani Mahaldar from Malda, and Mukesh Kumar from Farbisganj) were caught with drugs and manufacturing gear in an intercepted Scorpio.
Police believe this group is linked to an international syndicate and say more arrests could follow as investigations continue.
