Authorities say the brown sugar and heroin trade in Sasaram–Dehri expanded after alcohol prohibition in Bihar. Earlier, substances like cannabis were more common. Now, stronger drugs such as heroin and brown sugar are circulating in several urban areas.

Drug smugglers often use trains and buses to transport the substances. They believe it is easier to hide drugs in public transport than in private vehicles. Buyers from Ranchi and other places reportedly meet sellers in hotel rooms near Dehri railway station to complete deals.

Police continue operations against the network, but investigators say stronger action is needed to break the organized drug chain.
