In Tripura, a team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a search operation early this morning in three houses located in the Kazitila area of Kulubari, a border village under Sonamura subdivision in Sepahijala district. To prevent any untoward incidents, CRPF personnel accompanied the ED officials during the raid.

According to sources, none of the house owners or accused individuals were present at the premises at the time of the raid. Serious allegations have been reported against the accused, including involvement in drug trafficking, money laundering, smuggling, and possession of disproportionate assets. According to sources, the accused had previously been served notices by the ED, but failed to respond.

Following this non-compliance, the joint team from ED’s Guwahati and Agartala units initiated the operation around 7 AM, which continued throughout the day until the afternoon. Further investigation is currently underway.
