Dev and his team arrested three miscreants on Wednesday after receiving information about a robbery on the highway near a petrol depot.

The three were identified as Dondu Sidisow and Miza Khadisow, both 19 years old and residents of Rupa, and 18-year-old Akho Sidisow of Thrizino.

They were caught from different parts of Bomdila after an hour of hide-and-seek and chase.

On being interrogated, they disclosed the source of drugs.

Devโ€™s team nabbed Kaka from a specified location and recovered the drugs from him.

All the accused were produced before the court of the District and Sessions Judge, who remanded Kaka to four-day police custody and the others in judicial custody.

โ€œAnybody found consuming or in possession of such drugs will have to face serious legal consequences,โ€ Dev said.

Dev requested the denizens to cooperate with the district police in curbing such anti-social activities.
