Punjab Police Arrest Man with AK-47, Grenades in Cross-Border Arms Smuggling Case
Punjab Police in Amritsar arrested 28-year-old Navjot Singh, recovering an AK-47 rifle, two hand grenades, and live cartridges linked to a cross-border arms smuggling network. Investigations suggest the weapons were allegedly smuggled via drones from Pakistan, with connections to handlers in Pakistan and the Middle East. The operation, part of Punjab's zero-tolerance policy on organized crime and terrorism, aims to dismantle illegal arms supply chains. Further investigations are ongoing to trace the network's extent.
