Guwahati Police pulled off a late-night bust, finding drugs worth ₹40 crore hidden in a truck near the ISBT in Garchuk.
The tip-off came that a truck carrying drugs from Manipur was passing through Assam en route to other parts of the country, and even though the truck looked empty at first, officers discovered a secret compartment packed with narcotics.
