The combined team carried out a random frisking and checking drive at Kunjabond yesterday during which one pick-up truck (Mahindra Bolero) coming from Tipaimukh toward Cachar was detained, sources said.
The vehicle was found loaded with bananas beneath which some pumpkins with cut marks were found concealed on checking, said the source and added that the brown sugar was found concealed inside six pumpkins.
The driver Abdul Mannam Mazumder and the other occupant Khalil Ulla Barbhuiya were arrested on the spot and the brown sugar was seized by observing formalities and the same was handed over to the Jiribam police station along with the pick-up truck, said the sources.
