“Our team searched a vehicle and recovered 25 bundles of Yaba tablets kept in a hidden chamber,” the official said.
The bundles comprise 50,000 tablets, which are valued at approximately ₹10 crore, he said.
A couple from Manipur, who was in the vehicle, was arrested, he added.
Yaba tablets are illegal in India as these contain methamphetamine, a Schedule II substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
