Kakching — In a significant crackdown on narcotics, Manipur Police have arrested four individuals and confiscated a substantial quantity of heroin in Kakching district.
The raid, conducted at the Wabagai Lamkhai Thongkha area under Kakching Police Station, led to the apprehension of Thinmai Kaisidindou Liangmei (53), Dinthuibou Chawang (27), Lunghipuiliu (37), and Nanathongliu (42).
