Heroin, with a total weight of 5,394 grams and a street value of Rs 37.75 crore, was confiscated during a coordinated effort at Melbuk Road Junction, Zokhawthar, Champhai district. The contraband was suspected to have been smuggled from neighboring Myanmar, highlighting the cross-border nature of such criminal activities.

The driver of the vehicle was promptly apprehended and turned over to law enforcement authorities along with the seized items.

These operations underscore the unwavering commitment of Mizoram's security forces to thwart illegal activities within its borders.
