Over 5kg of heroin seized from school near Mizoram border
Aizawl: Hualngoram police seized 427 hawngs (packet), containing around 5kg and 200 grams of heroin, from a school classroom in Khawmawi village located at Chin state of Myanmar near the Mizoram border on Thursday, Hualngoram People's Organisation (HPO) leader Pu Hminga said on Friday.
Hualngoram police is a part of HPO, a civil administration governing some areas adjacent to Mizoram's Champhai district, which have been liberated by combined forces of the Chin National Army (CNA) and the Chin Defence Force (CDF)-Hualngoram from Myanmar army rule.
Hminga told TOI over phone from Khawmawi village that the contraband, suspected to be trafficked to Mizoram, was seized from TPCE nursery school, a private institution owned and run by Ngun Sui Thang (37).
Thang is known to be a member of education board of the Chin National Organisation (CNO) and its armed wing Chin National Defence Force (CNDF).
"As Thang had already absconded when the school was searched, his wife Tuan Kim Thiam (35) was arrested. Hualngoram police launch a manhunt to find Thang and seek the help of Young Mizo Association (YMA), the largest civil society in Mizoram, and the Mizoram Police for his arrest," he said.

FIR against couple for lurid act on highway
Indore: Madhya Pradesh police on Friday registered a case against a man and a woman who were caught on CCTV while engaging in a sexual act on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near Mandsaur town, 200km from Indore. "We received a viral video and took cognisance of it. A case has been filed under BNS sections 296 (obscene acts and songs in public places), 285 (danger or obstruction in a public way or line of navigation), and 3(5) (common intention) against Manohar Dhakad and another individual," Mandsaur SP Abhishek Anand said. Police are looking for the duo. They engaged in the obscene act in public on the night of May 13 and newly installed CCTV cameras captured it in lurid detail. After the video emerged on social media, Dhakad's mobile phone was switched off and he vanished. In preliminary investigation, police confirmed the authenticity of the video and identified the location. DIG-Ratlam range Manoj Singh condemned the act, saying that such behaviour at a public place is disgraceful and could potentially escalate into a more serious legal matter. Dhakad hails from Bani village in Mandsaur. Amid rumours that he was a local BJP functionary, Mandsdaur district BJP president Rajesh Dixit said he was not a party member. BJP condemns the obscene act, he said. The Dhakad Mahasabha has removed him as president of the organisation's Youth Union on orders from its national president Dr Arjun Dhakad.
