A haul of 5.2 kg opium worth Rs ten lakh approximately has been seized and one person arrested in this connection at Ormanjhi, situated on the outskirts of Ranchi.
Acting a tip-off that the person came here from Hazaribagh, a team of the Narcotics Control Board searched the place and arrested the person with the consignment, NCB Superintendent Debasish Choudhary said.
He did not disclose the name as the NCB was searching for other persons of the smuggling network.
Choudhary said the arrested person was produced before the NDPS court, which sent the person to judicial custody.
