Assam STF Seizes 30,000 Yaba Tablets in Amingaon, One Arrested

Officials say the size of the seizure signals organized trafficking into lower Assam as investigations continue.

Overview

State police’s Special Task Force intercepted a courier in Amingaon and recovered 30,000 banned Yaba tablets, officials reported.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma gave the seizure an official valuation of about Rs 7.5 crore for the contraband.
One person was taken into custody in connection with the courier interception, but authorities have not released the suspect’s identity or charges.
Yaba is a highly addictive tablet that combines methamphetamine and caffeine, a factor authorities cite when stressing public-health and law-enforcement concerns.
Investigations are ongoing and officials have not provided details on the supply chain, wider arrests, forensic testing, or planned prosecutions, which leaves questions about the trafficking network unresolved.
