Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari
Malda: Following the seizure of over 3 kg of brown sugar in two incidents in Malda, Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari lauded police action on Sunday. Police seized around 2.7 kg of contraband valued at Rs 3 crore from them. The same night, police arrested two other youths — Jainal Sk and Rahul Das — along NH-12 and seized 400 g of brown sugar worth Rs 8 lakh.
“I appreciate the officers and personnel of the West Bengal Police and the STF for their swift, coordinated action and unwavering dedication to duty. Let me remind drug smugglers, racketeers, and syndicate operators that they will be dealt with an iron fist, as our govt maintains a zero-tolerance policy against drug peddling to safeguard the future of our youth,” the CM posted on X. The three were produced in a Malda court and remanded in police custody.
On Saturday, three Kaliachak youths – Nabiul Haque, Sahibar Ali and Hasibur Sk – were nabbed near Madhughat in English Bazaar.
