Shantipur, Middle Andaman, Aug 20: In a major breakthrough, the Central Crime Station (CCS) unit of the Andaman Police arrested a senior citizen, Mr. Kiran Halder, in connection with a large-scale Heroin seizure in the Shantipur area under Swadesh Nagar Panchayat, Middle Andaman. The operation, which took place this morning, led to the confiscation of 410 grams of Heroin, it is learnt.
According to initial inputs, the drugs were initially discovered by Mr. Kiran Halder’s son, Mr. Kishor Halder, along the seashore near Cuthbert Bay area of Middle Andaman. It is alleged that Mr. Kishor Halder had previously sold nearly 500 grams of heroin in Port Blair, and the CCS unit recently arrested an individual in connection with that transaction.
The investigation into the Port Blair incident provided crucial information that led the CCS unit to Swadesh Nagar. Acting on this intelligence, the team apprehended Mr. Kiran Halder while he was allegedly handing over a parcel containing 410 grams of Heroin to a prospective buyer.
As per sources, Mr. Kishor Halder, the primary suspect in the case, had instructed his father to deliver the parcel to the buyer while he was away on business in Cuthbert Bay. However, the CCS unit intervened and arrested Mr. Kiran Halder during the handover. The CCS unit is currently conducting an intensive search for Mr. Kishor Halder. Further details are awaited.
