As part of ongoing counter-insurgency and anti-crime operations, security forces in Manipur arrested a Thoubal resident with a large cache of psychotropic substances during intensified search operations.
The arrest took place on August 18, 2025, at T. Khullen, NH-2 under Senapati Police Station, Senapati district. The accused has been identified as Md. Sajid Khan (35), a resident of Moijing in Thoubal district.
According to officials, the operation led to the recovery of the following items:
| Item Recovered | Details |
|---|---|
| Psychotropic Substances | WY tablets, approx. 3.2 kg |
| Vehicle | Mahindra Bolero |
| Electronics | 1 mobile phone |
| Identity Document | 1 Aadhaar card |
Authorities confirmed that the seized WY tablets form part of the narcotics network fueling illegal trafficking across the region. The recovered Bolero vehicle and mobile phone are being examined for potential links to wider syndicates.
Security forces have intensified area domination and checkpoint surveillance across the state in a bid to curb the smuggling of drugs, arms, and contraband materials. Officials reiterated their commitment to tackling narcotics trafficking, which remains a significant driver of crime and instability in Manipur.
The arrested individual is currently in custody, and further investigation is underway to identify associates and networks connected to the seized consignment.
