Acting on a tip-off, Dharmanagar police intercepted a suspicious scooter coming from Kadamtila towards Dharmanagar around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday near the Dighalbak bridge area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Police managed to detain one of the two riders, identified as Sadiki Zaman (18), while the scooter driver managed to flee the scene. During the search, police recovered a sealed packet suspected to contain narcotics. However, when the packet was opened in the presence of SDPO Jayanta Karmakar, a magistrate, and a forensic expert team, it was found to contain nothing but packaged salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The discovery created a wave of curiosity and confusion among local residents. Police suspect that the drug network deliberately used the packet as a decoy to mislead investigators and ensure the safe passage of their actual narcotics consignments elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Dharmanagar Sub-Inspector Tapan Das said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe are taking the matter seriously.
