अररिया में नशीली कफ सिरप की तस्करी के मामले में पुलिस ने एबीसी नहर के किनारे बंद घर से लाखों रुपये मूल्य के कफ सिरप को बरामद किया है। इस धंधे में सीमांचल से नेपाल तक कई सफेदपोश लोग भी शामिल हैं और पुलिस ने तीनों आरोपी को जल्द ही गिरफ्तार करने का दावा किया है। यह मामला अररिया में नहीं पहली बार उजागर हुआ है और इसे सीमांचल से नेपाल तक फैला हुआ देखा जा रहा है।
