Six Men Arrested in Bihar's Araria with Drugs Worth Over Rs 25 Crore
Six men were arrested in Bihar's Araria district during 'Operation Prahar' for possessing 4.08 kg of smack and chemicals used in its manufacture, valued at over Rs 25 crore internationally. The arrests occurred across three locations, involving suspects mainly from West Bengal's Malda district and Araria. Police seized a black Scorpio, mobile phones, and weighing equipment. Preliminary investigations suggest links to an interstate drug trafficking network connected to an international syndicate, with seized crude material capable of producing larger quantities of marketable smack.
