Indore: Drugs having an estimated value of Rs 1 crore have been seized from Jain's godown in Dawa Bazar, located at a distance of about 200 metres from Hanumanganj police station in Bhopal and three persons were arrested allegedly in this connection. The confiscated drugs include over 9 lakh alprazolam tablets and 5,240 bottles of cough syrup.
Alprazolam, a psychotropic substance under the NDPS Act, is used as a medicine to treat anxiety and panic disorders. Its addiction and habit forming potential is very high.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Border Security Force (BSF) South Bengal Frontier had seized 62,200 bottles of Phensedyl cough syrup worth over Rs 1.4 crore. The seizure was made during an operation in Nadia district along the India-Bangladesh international border.
