SUBJECT: MEGHALAYA STATE POLICE SEIZE 5 KILOS OF HEROIN 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  On July 6 in Northeast India, Meghalaya 
state police reportedly recovered 5 kilograms of heroin in the 
state capital Shillong.  Two persons have been arrested in 
connection with the seizure.  One suspect is an Indian federal 
government employee, the other is Moulvi (Muslim preacher); both 
are from the small Pangal Muslim community in the state of 
Manipur.  Local authorities are increasingly concerned about the 
illicit activities of Pangal youths and the possible links to 
terrorism.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (U) Two alleged drug traffickers were arrested on July 6 in 
Shillong, the capital of India's Northeastern Meghalaya state. 
Media, quoting officials from Meghalaya's Criminal Investigation 
Department (CID), reported that a special anti-drug task force 
recovered 5 kilograms of heroin, worth USD 2.5 million.  This is 
the biggest single drug seizure made by the task force in the 
state.  The two suspects were arrested under the Narcotic Drugs 
and Psychotropic Substances (Prevention) Act [NDPS Act]. 
 
3.  (SBU) A senior Meghalaya police officer confirmed to ECON 
FSN media reports about the volume of the drug seized and its 
market value.  Although the arrests were made in Shillong, the 
two arrested -- Mohammed Sikander, alias Muzzafar Ali (36) and 
Mohammed Naimuddin (33) --  are natives of neighboring Manipur, 
an Indian border state with Burma, known for its thriving 
illicit drug trade.  Meghalaya has no international border with 
Burma but shares a long border with Bangladesh.  CID officials 
told post that Sikandar was working as an assistant storekeeper 
with the Geological Survey of India in Shillong. 
 
4.  (SBU) The senior police officer also expressed concern about 
the security implications of the case as both Naimuddin and 
Sikander are Pangals, a Muslim community of approximately 50,000 
people indigenous to Manipur.  Contacts in the Manipur police 
confirmed many Pangal youths are involved in drug- and 
gun-running rackets, extortion and other illegal activities. 
Much of the illicit activity is conducted by the Pangal 
insurgent group, Peoples United Liberation Front (PULF).  Post 
contacts in Manipur expressed concern about increasing 
involvement of Pangals in drug trafficking and about the 
potential links to terrorist activity.  On December 19, 2006, 
New Delhi Police arrested three Pangal youths, Salman Khurshid 
Kori (23), Abdul Rehman (24) and Mohammad Akbar Hussain (20), 
when they exited a bus from Jammu in New Delhi's Red Fort area. 
The police alleged that the three were Laskhar-e-Taiba (LeT) 
members and were carrying two kilograms of RDX, two detonators 
and one hand grenade. 
 
5.  (SBU) Inadequate equipment is a constraint for law enforcing 
agencies fighting drug trafficking in Meghalaya.  A senior CID 
official told post that the Meghalaya government has recently 
submitted a request to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in New 
Delhi for essential equipment to combat drug trafficking.  CID's 
wish list includes vehicles, computers, and surveillance and 
communication equipment.  In 2001, the U.S. Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) extended similar assistance to police in 
the nearby Northeast Indian state of Mizoram. 
 
6.  (SBU) COMMENT:  Northeast India is a major center for trade 
of illicit drugs.  Many of the region's ethnic insurgencies are 
financed by drug and weapon smuggling.  However, this recent 
arrest is of greater concern to the Meghalaya police given the 
quantity of heroin seized and the detainees' connection with the 
Muslim Pangal community.
