Imphal, March 02 2012:
Volunteers of Anjuman Islah-E-Muaashrah have seized a large quantity of contraband drugs worth around Rs 21 lakhs.
Displaying the drugs in their office located near Lilong Dam, secretary of the voluntary organisation Muheiuddin said that their volunteers, acting on a specific information, raided a house at Lilong Haoreibi Sambrukhong yesterday afternoon.
During the raid, 7547 strips of Leefirst-T, 1360 strips of M-Doxyn, 16,600 strips of Lopin-D and 16,650 strips of Solkof were seized from the house.
All these four brands of drugs contain ephedrine.
These drugs were brought from Delhi by Md Sirajuddin, owner of the house.
However, he could not be pulled up as he was away at Delhi, Maheiuddin said.
Further, volunteers of Anjuman pulled up one Md Firoz (35) of Lilong Haoreibi Makha Leikai along with 1728 strips of SP capsules this afternoon.
The total monetary value of these drugs is around Rs 21 lakhs in the market.
But their value in black market would be more than double the price, the secretary added.
