Imphal, July 16 2020:
A team of district police commando led by SI Kishorjit Singh seized 9.5 kg of opium while performing duty at Phougakchao Ikhai crossing along Tiddim road, yesterday.
The opium was seized from one individual identified as Mangleu Singsit (45), S/o (L) Haokhodou Singsit of Kaimai Village, Tamenglong, at present P Moria village of Churachandpur district, said a statement from Bishnupur police.
It also said that the arrested person and seized items have been handed over to Moirang PS for investigation.
On the other hand, Bishnupur police also clarified that there was no case of issuing a slip of paper with PS seal on it to violators while performing COVID duty as circulated on some Facebook posts.
Such baseless and unverified report against the police is uncalled for as such news can demoralise the personnel who are performing their duties in the larger interest of the public, police said.
