Assam Police arrested two Arunachal Pradesh residents near Guwahati and seized six musk deer scent pods weighing 158 grams.
The operation was conducted by a special operations team at Medhikuchi, intercepting smugglers Moga Doye and Nokphua Wangsa during transit.
Musk deer are protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act and listed in CITES Appendix I due to severe extinction risks driven by illegal trade.
