Police in Kishanganj district have achieved a significant breakthrough in their fight against the smuggling of banned cough syrup. Acting on a tip-off, authorities conducted a raid and arrested a smuggler. They seized 400 bottles of the prohibited cough syrup and a motorcycle from his possession. This operation is part of the ongoing drive against narcotics in the district.

A special team, formed under the directives of the Superintendent of Police, acted swiftly upon receiving the intelligence. It is believed that the smuggler intended to bring these banned syrups from neighboring states and distribute them in Kishanganj and surrounding areas. Police apprehended the individual red-handed as he was preparing to transport the syrups. The market value of the seized cough syrup is estimated to be in the thousands of rupees.

Interrogation of the arrested smuggler is underway to identify other individuals involved in this network. Police suspect this is just one link in a larger organized crime syndicate. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and anticipate further arrests soon. Kishanganj, being a border district, is frequently targeted by smugglers, making it a crucial route for the trafficking of narcotics and prohibited goods. However, the police and other security agencies are continuously working to thwart such attempts. This arrest is expected to curb the supply of banned syrups in the district and send a strong message to other smugglers. Police have also urged the public to report any suspicious activities immediately to help control such crimes.
