Sri Vijaya Puram, May 07: In a significant breakthrough in the ongoing crackdown against narcotics in the North & Middle Andaman District, a massive jungle search operation was conducted on 04/05/2025 in the dense forests of Cutbert Bay. This operation was launched in the wake of the recent seizures of methamphetamine from the same region and was carried out by a joint team from PS Billiground and PS Rangat, under the overall supervision of Mr. Chandan G.S, DANIPS, SDPO Rangat.
A special team was constituted for the operation, comprising SI M.V. Shiju Kumar, SHO PS Billiground, HC Diwbendu Biswas, PCs Samir Halder, Sujan Gharami, Bhagirath, P. Sagar from PS Billiground and PCs Mohd. Mustafa and T.K. Anas from PS Rangat. The team, accompanied by Scene of Crime Officer, Ms. A.P Nasreen and SDPO Rangat, proceeded for Cutbert Bay by an engine dinghy.
Upon arrival, the team proceeded into the jungle and launched a thorough search operation and subsequently discovered a white plastic sack lying unclaimed in a secluded bushy area containing 20 packets individually wrapped and marked as “Gyanyinwang Refined Chinese Tea.”
Upon closer inspection, a strong odour and a suspicious white crystalline substance were detected. The contents were tested on-site using a drug detection kit confirming the presence of methamphetamine, a banned psychotropic substance. The total weight of the seized contraband was found to be 20.935 kg.
The banned substance was promptly seized with all legal protocols duly followed. Subsequently, a case has been registered under the relevant sections of NDPS Act, 1985 at PS Billiground and investigation has been taken up.
This seizure marks a major success in the ongoing efforts of Andaman & Nicobar Police against the menace of narcotics and reflects the unwavering commitment of the police force to keep the islands drug-free.
The general public is requested to pass and share any credible information pertaining to any crime or illegal activities to their nearest Police Station or over phone No.100, 112 & 03192-273344. The identity of the informers will be kept secret and will also be suitably rewarded.
