The CBN said it destroys and disposes of seized narcotics in accordance with applicable provisions and prescribed procedures. This, it said, keeps seized contraband from re-entering the illicit drug trafficking network and ensures it is incinerated in an environmentally safe manner.
Acting on specific intelligence, the CBN said, a team from the P&I Cell, CBN Mandsaur, was deployed on the Kanjarda–Manasa route. The information was that a person riding a Hero Glamour motorcycle with Neemuch registration was carrying approximately 4–5 kg of opium from Kanjarda towards Manasa.
The officers kept the route under surveillance. On 30.09.2026 they identified and intercepted the motorcycle and searched it, recovering two packets containing a total of 4.240 kg of opium.
After completing the legal formalities, the opium and the motorcycle used to carry it were seized under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985, and one person was arrested. Investigation is under way to establish the source and intended destination of the opium and to identify others, if any, connected with the trafficking network.
The CBN said its approach to illicit trafficking covers intelligence-based enforcement, seizure of contraband, investigation and prosecution, and timely disposal of seized substances in accordance with law. It said it remains committed to a Drug-Free India and to the vision of a Nasha Mukt Bharat.
