The seized drugs were valued at Rs. 19.40 lakh, he added.

The CID sleuths are now keeping a vigil on four suspected drug distributors in Assam’s capital city Guwahati, from where huge quantity of illegal drugs are suspected to have been supplied to the godown at Doboka.

He said the seizure of psychotropic tablets and cough syrups have been made during a joint raid by the CID and Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau of Assam police.

“There was a tip-off based on which we have raided Mazumder Drug Distributor at Doboka in Hojai district of Assam on Saturday. We seized 2.60 lakh psychotropic tablets and 4,700 cough syrups from the godown,” said Bishnoi.

“The owner, Tahiruddin Mazumdar, failed to produce any document for stocking such huge quantity of drugs and he was arrested,” added Bishnoi.

“While there are 6,600 notified godowns for drugs storage in Assam, the godown at Doboka was not even licensed,” he said.

Informing that they got four names from Tahiruddin Mazumdar Bishnoi said, “The four names led us to four drug distributors in Guwahati. We suspect, these four distributors supplied the drugs illegally to Tahiruddin. We are keeping strict vigil on them.”
