Excise officials on Wednesday nabbed a youth from Sakhigopal and seized 30 gram of brown sugar from his underwear.
The contraband worth around Rs 3 lakh brought from Jaleswar in Baleswar district was about to be sold by the youth, said excise officials.
The youth, who was later remanded to judicial custody, was identified as Gagan Sahu (27) of Hatapada village under the Delanga police station. At about 6.30 am on the day, he was returning from Jalweswar to his village after getting down at the Sakhigopal railway station. Acting on a tipoff, the excise sleuths stayed alert on the National Highway at Sakhigopal and caught him after a search. They found the drug in a polythene packet hidden in his underwear.
