Deadly SP Capsules

Composed of paracetamol (400mg), dicylomine hydrochloride (10mg) and propoxyphene napsylate (100mg), SP is a multi-ingredient synthesized opiod used as a painkiller. It is the presence of Propoxyphene napsylate that makes the drug highly addictive. Spasmo proxyvon tablet is a popular antispasmodic drug and is covered under Narcotic Drugs. It is increasingly being abused for its opoid (opium) effect due to its availability.
Heroin Seized
In another operation, Bokajan police recovered thirty six grams of heroin from the Gandhi garage of the town. Naoba Sing and Mangijao Sing both hailing from Manipur have been arrested and a truck (no MN01/9685) used for smuggling of the narcotic has been seized.
