The banned drugs were reportedly transported from Delhi to Dimapur through the Railway Mail Service and shifted to the godown by the accused, one Mahadev Prasad, owner of the shop.
Police told reporters today that he received specific information of the consignment and had sent some plain clothes police personnel along with two officers to locate the godown.
On raiding the place, police found the controlled drugs kept hidden in a secret compartment built on the ceiling of the shop. The drugs were packed in 17 cartons.

These illegal consignments reportedly go to Manipur and Myanmar where the drugs are in high demand. Certain compositions of these drugs are learnt to be used for making some other illegal drugs like heroin, police said quoting sources.
The seized drugs are worth around Rs 10 lakh in Delhi with the price per strip of ten tablets ranging from Rs 3-10.
