Police have taken significant action against drug trafficking in the Dhelwa Gosai locality, falling under the Barh police station area in Patna district. For the past 15-20 days, police had been monitoring the buying and selling of dry drugs in the area based on confidential information. During a raid conducted on Thursday, two women were arrested, while a male accomplice managed to escape. Police recovered several packets of smack and syringes used for drug consumption from the scene. Additionally, several individuals caught consuming drugs were also detained.

DSP Ramakrishna stated that information was received regarding the illegal trade of dry drugs like smack and cannabis from a house in Dhelwa Gosai. This information had been verified and investigated for several days. The arrested women were operating this illegal drug business from their own home. A few months prior, local residents had also protested against the increasing drug trade in the area and accused these same women of selling dry drugs.

Patna SSP has issued clear directives that the negative impact of dry drugs on the future of youth will not be tolerated at any cost. This action was taken based on information received under these directives. Police are currently searching for the absconding accused, and interrogation of the detained drug users is underway.
