Churachandpur, July 28: Manipur Police recovered Rs 39.33 lakh in cash during a follow-up operation tied to a major drug bust involving WY (methamphetamine) tablets in Churachandpur district.
The follow-up operation was conducted on July 22 at the residence of Thangmaljohh alias Hunter (35), son of Khomminthang, in Suangdoh/Enpum village.

The seized tablets are estimated to be worth around Rs 10 crore in the international market.
