India law enforcement conducts major drug seizure and financial fraud raids

In separate major law enforcement actions in India, authorities have conducted significant narcotics seizures and financial fraud investigations.

In Tripura, a joint operation involving the North Tripura Police, Assam Rifles, and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) intercepted a lorry at Panisagar Naka. The team seized approximately 50 kg of Yaba tablets, valued at roughly Rs 40 crore. The driver of the vehicle was arrested. Officials noted the drugs were suspected to have been smuggled from Myanmar through Mizoram toward Bangladesh.

Simultaneously, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched widespread searches in connection with money laundering and investment fraud. In Kolkata and Indore, the agency raided 17 locations linked to the Amrit Group of companies. The investigation focuses on allegations that the group cheated the public by collecting large sums through deposit schemes promising high returns without fulfilling those promises. The raids aim to trace the financial trail and gather documentary evidence regarding the movement of funds.
