Agartala: Tripura Police apprehended a suspect and confiscated banned cough syrup phensedyl valued at Rs 30 lakh from Dhalai District.

The operation, spearheaded by Dhalai Superintendent of Police, Avinash Rai, unfolded in the early hours of Friday.

Detailing the operation, Rai explained, “Upon reaching the Ambassa naka checking point, we intercepted the vehicle, ostensibly loaded with household commodities.

Subsequently, the police detained the driver and initiated legal proceedings against him. “We have presented the suspect before the court, seeking police remand for further interrogation,” Rai confirmed.
