Punjab Police Arrest Four in Amritsar, Seize 10 kg Heroin in Cross-Border Bust
Punjab Police's Counter Intelligence wing arrested four individuals in Amritsar and seized 10 kg of heroin, disrupting a suspected cross-border drug smuggling network. The suspects, identified as local residents, were intercepted near Ghanupur Kale village while transporting the heroin on two-wheelers. Preliminary investigations suggest they operated under foreign-based handlers, distributing heroin across Punjab. Police have registered a case under the NDPS Act, and further inquiries are ongoing to uncover additional links in the network.
