Contraband consignment found in Medical store, owner arrested

GANGTOK, 01 Dec: The Sadar police on 30 November landed itself a huge cache of contraband substances when it raided a medical store in Sichey here. Over 300 bottles of various types of cough syrups along with tablets were seized from the store in the raid which took place in the early afternoon of Saturday. The owner of the store has been arrested.
