Acting on an intelligence input, the Cachar police on Thursday night conducted a raid at the residence of one Meena Kumari Sharma (36), a widow, and recovered over 100 soap cases stuffed with 1.68 kg of heroin in Laboc Part IV under Lakhipur Sub-Division of Cachar district in Assam.
The police are conducting further search operations to track down places where banned substances could be hidden.
