286 Grams of Brown Sugar Seized Under Ramghat Bridge; 26-Year-Old Man Arrested in Siliguri

In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, police from Khalpara Outpost under Siliguri Metropolitan Police arrested a 26-year-old man and seized 286 grams of suspected brown sugar from his possession. The operation was conducted late Wednesday night in the Ramghat area under Ward No. 5 of Siliguri Municipal Corporation, triggering a stir in the locality.

According to police sources, officers received a tip-off that a brown sugar transaction was likely to take place in the Ramghat area. Acting on the information, a special police team immediately reached the spot and launched a search operation.

During the operation, police noticed a youth moving suspiciously beneath Ramghat Bridge. He was intercepted and questioned, following which a search was conducted. Police claim that 286 grams of brown sugar were recovered from his possession.

The arrested individual has been identified as **MD Kedar (26)**, a resident of Ward No. 5 of Siliguri Municipal Corporation.

Police suspect that the accused was waiting to hand over the contraband to someone else. However, he was apprehended before the alleged transaction could take place.

Investigators are now trying to establish the source of the seized narcotics and identify other individuals involved in the suspected drug trafficking network. Police are also examining whether the consignment was intended for distribution in other parts of Siliguri.

The accused is likely to be produced before the Siliguri court, where police may seek his custody for further interrogation. Investigators hope that questioning him will help uncover the wider network involved in the alleged drug trade.

The operation is being viewed as a significant step in the ongoing crackdown against drug trafficking in Siliguri.
