“The team also seized more than one hundred bottles of banned drugs (cough syrup) from their possession,” Bhuyan said.

“Insan Ali was absconding and we were looking for him since long. Due to the continuous drive of Darrang Police against the illegal drugs trading, this practice has been considerably reduced in the district in recent times,” he added.

Till the filing of the report, the police were interrogating the arrested persons.
