Diphu: Two persons from Manipur were arrested after Yaba tablets, a narcotics substance, valued at Rs 10 crore, were recovered from their possession in Assam's Karbi Anglong district, police said on Thursday.
The arrests and recovery were made during a routine checking exercise in Dillai Tiniali area on Wednesday evening.
"Our team searched a vehicle and recovered 25 bundles of Yaba tablets kept in a hidden chamber," the official said.
The bundles comprise 50,000 tablets, which are valued at approximately Rs 10 crore, he said.
A couple from Manipur, who was in the vehicle, was arrested, he added.
Yaba tablets are illegal in India as these contain methamphetamine, a Schedule II substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
