Balasore: Special Task Force (STF) of Odisha Crime Branch has seized more than one kg of brown sugar and arrested one person in this connection in Balasore district.
On the basis of intelligence input, an STF team from Bhubaneswar conducted a raid near railway level crossing at Aradabazar in Balasore and apprehended drug peddler Sheikh Mezu of Arad Bazar under Sahadevkhunta police limits in the district on Tuesday.
During search, brown sugar weighing 1.05 kg, Rs 28,100 in cash and other incriminating materials were recovered from his possession and seized. As the accused Sheikh Mezu could not produce any valid document in
