Imphal, October 03 2013:
One person has been apprehended by a team of Narcotics and Affairs of Border (NAB), Manipur from New Checkon along with 410 WY (World is Yours) tablets this morning.
Acting on a specific tip off under the instruction of SP Gautam, a team of NAB led by Inspector RK Bikramjit pulled up the individual later identified as Hemkhomang Haokip (43) s/o Lungkhojang along with 410 pieces of WY tablets at around 9.30 am.
Hemkhomang is a resident of S Moljol village, adjoining Moreh but presently staying in a rented house near AAA ground, Porompat.
The NAB team found the WY tablets put inside an enzyme bottle named Neopeptine when they halted and frisked Hemkhomang who was then moving in a suspicious manner.
Estimated at the international market value of Rs 1500 per tablet, monetary value of the WY tablets seized from Hemkhomang came to around Rs 6.15 lakh.
WY tablets, also known as party drugs are generally smuggled into the State from Myanmar and they are available in different colours.
However, it is not clear yet in which parts of Myanmar WY tablets are manufactured.
Along with registration of an FIR case, due investigation process has been initiated, said Inspector Bikramjit.
