The heroin was cleverly concealed within 38 soap boxes, emphasizing the lengths to which traffickers will go to hide their illicit goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Cachar Police&#8217;s Superintendent, Numal Mahatta, revealed that the total estimated value of the seized drugs in the black market is approximately \u20b920 crore.
