A team of RPF post Garhwa Road railway junction, under the direction of the incharge inspector Banarasi Yadav late Thursday November 21, nabbed two men and one woman from the Daltonganj railway station with 1.5 kgs of opium worth 7,50, 000 rupees.
Stating this the incharge inspector Yadav said the three have been identified as Gyanti Devi, 55, Nagender Paswan, 26, and Birender Sao, 40.
All the three hail from Tarhassi police station limits in Palamu.
"The three were to catch some train for Chandigarh and were at platform number 1 of the Daltonganj railway station when RPF's 4 officials Munna Kumar, S Jyoti Kumari, K N Upadhyaya and R S Yaduvanshi spotted them nervous and scared seeing the RPF" added Yadav.
There was a tip off about smuggling of opium by a couple of people also and so the RPF was alert looking for some such suspicious people and these three just fit for the bill of the RPF.
The three were handlers. Their kingpin is someone hiding from the Palamu police.
On their frisking the opium was found in their possession. It was seized as per the protocol set for narcotics control.
The three have been booked under sections of the NDPS act 1985. They were remanded to judicial custody in Daltonganj late in the day Thursday.
The case will be investigated by RPF official K C Gogroi.
Apart from this recovery of the opium RPF post Garhwa Road junction saved a 15 year old Bihar boy from being picked up by the human trafficker as the boy was alone, hungry and moneyless.
Again RPF post Garhwa Road seized English wine from a passenger worth around 40,000 of rupees.
Inspector incharge RPF post Garhwa Road Banarasi Yadav and his team has proved their merit here be it is operation Nanhey Farishtey or operation Satark or Operation Narcotics or operation Meri Saheli, operation Dignity etc.
