KAILALI: Five individuals have been arrested in Kailali for possession of brown heroin.

A team from the Criminal Investigation Branch of the District Police Office and its subordinate offices apprehended the suspects with 17 grams and 920 milligrams of brown heroin.

Bohara stated that Rana was arrested in Dhangadhi Sub-metropolitan City-3 while traveling from India on motorcycle number Supa Pra 01012 Pa 5475, with 2 grams and 860 milligrams of brown heroin.

The remaining four suspects were arrested following a tip-off about brown heroin being traded at Laxman Chaudhary’s residence in Harinagar, Ghodaghodi Municipality-7.

A search of Chaudhary’s home led to the recovery of 15 grams and 60 milligrams of brown heroin hidden in a coat pocket inside a suitcase.
