Acting on a tip-off, a special team led by the Officer-in-Charge of Udaipur Police Station conducted a raid at the Udaipur railway station area around 7:30 p.m. and arrested three individuals with heroin-like substances.
According to police officials, the operation was based on specific intelligence that drug transactions had been taking place in and around the railway station for quite some time. During the raid, three youths were found loitering suspiciously.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Shazmul Islam (22), Farid Akhtar (23), and Selim Uddin (36) the latter reportedly serving as a BSF personnel. Preliminary investigation suggests that the trio are part of an inter-state smuggling network that uses railway routes to distribute drugs across different regions of Tripura.
