Discovering the transportation of banned drugs, personnel of 31 Assam Rifles set up a frisking team at Khudengtabi along NH-39 on Friday and intercepted the woman along with the contraband kept in three packets from a van.
Drug analysts said the Imphal-Moreh section of NH 39 is the key transit route of drugs, especially heroin, smuggled from the notorious Golden Triangle through the porous Indo-Myanmar border. The price of one kg heroin in the black market is over Rs 1 crore.
Nengnedhong Haokip (37) of Phoilen village has been handed over to the Customs office at the border town, said an Assam Rifles statement.
On the other hand, 23 Assam Rifles nabbed a self-styled sergeant of the underground Kangleipak Communist Party, Military Council (KCP-MC), Lamyamba Khuman group, during a counter-insurgency operation at Leitanpokpi village in Imphal East on Friday.
Salam Ibohal (42) of Leitanpokpi Mayai Leikai has been handed over to Lamlai Police, said the paramilitary force's statement.
