Jamshedpur, Nov 20: Mango police has seized 500 sachets of brown sugar from a vehicle carrying fish near the Mango circle on Sunday morning. The seizure took place during an anti-crime checking drive that was being conducted near the Mango roundabout.

When the cops flagged down the fish van the driver and his assistant stopped the vehicle and escaped before the police could nab them. Caught unawares by the sudden escape of the duo, the police then carried out a thorough inspection of the van and found the brown sugar consignment. Later, the police arrested the vehicle owner, Sanatan.

Police officials later brought Sanatan to the Mango police station where he is being interrogated. Police officials who are supervising the case said that investigators are first trying to ascertain since when has Sanatan been involved in the illicit transportation of brown sugar. Police sources said, the two absconding suspects have been involved in the transportation and sale of brown sugar and that they use their fish transportation business as a cover for their drug dealing.
