Which force gave operational assistance in both the interceptions?

  1. A.Border Security Force
  2. B.Central Reserve Police Force
  3. C.Indo-Tibetan Border Police
  4. D.Assam Rifles

Correct answer

D. Assam Rifles

Explanation

The correct answer is the Assam Rifles. In both interceptions, the one outside Aizawl on 29 October 2026 and the one at Dholai on 30 October 2026, officers of the revenue intelligence wing worked with the Assam Rifles, which is the force deployed along the stretch of the international boundary through which these consignments move. The Border Security Force in option A guards the borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh, the Central Reserve Police Force in option B is used mainly for internal security and law and order duties, and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police in option C is deployed along the northern border. None of those three was involved here. Aspirants should link the Assam Rifles to the North East, remember that the drugs were traced to Myanmar, and recall that the arrests were made under the NDPS Act of 1985 while three vehicles were seized.
