Cooch Behar police seize Rs 56 lakh banned cough syrup

Police in a district called Cooch Behar found a big truck full of a type of cough syrup that is banned.

Banned means the medicine is not allowed to be sold.

The syrup was worth about 56 lakh rupees, which is a lot of money.

There were more than 25,000 bottles inside the truck.

The truck was parked near a market called Prantik Bazar since Tuesday night.

Some neighbors thought the truck looked strange, so they told the police.

The police came on Wednesday and checked the truck.

They found the syrup and took the truck and all the bottles.

The police think someone planned to carry the syrup into another country called Bangladesh.

Police are still trying to find who was behind the plan.
