Punjab Police Bust Three Illegal Arms and Drug Networks in Amritsar
Punjab Police in Amritsar have arrested 11 individuals linked to three illegal arms and drug supply networks, recovering 12 pistols, two hand grenades, over 310 grams of heroin, and live cartridges. Investigations indicate these groups were connected to foreign-based handlers who used drones to smuggle weapons and narcotics. The seized arms include military-grade rifles, raising concerns about their use in local crimes. Police continue probing to identify further associates and dismantle the broader trafficking networks operating across the border region.
