A 41-year-old man was arrested from Nepal's Dhading district for allegedly trafficking about 225 kilogramme of narcotic drugs, a senior police official said Thursday.
Bir Bahadur Tamang Lama was arrested following a raid by police at a hideout in Dundethanti in Gajuri Rural Municipality of the district, at around 2:30 a.m., he said.
Police recovered about 220 kilogramme of powdered cannabis, packed in eight sacks sealed with tape, five polythene bags containing a total of five kg of marijuana and a mobile phone from Lama, Deputy Superintendent of Police Khagendra Bahadur Khadka said at the Area Police Office in Gajuri.
Khadka said he had asked the Dhading District Police Office to register a case related with trafficking of the narcotic drugs against Lama and launch a search for his associates, who fled the scene during the raid taking advantage of the night.
