Acting on intelligence about the potential transportation of illicit substances, the STF intercepted a public vehicle with registration number AS01FC8114 under the jurisdiction of Boko Police Station in Kamrup.

During the search, the team apprehended Sorif Ali (41), a resident of Jamlai, and recovered nine soap boxes containing heroin, weighing a total of 121 grams (excluding the soap boxes). The authorities also seized a mobile phone and cash from the arrested peddler.
