Punjab Police Bust Three Illegal Arms and Drug Networks in Amritsar, Arrest 11
Punjab Police arrested 11 individuals, including two juveniles, in Amritsar, dismantling three illegal arms and drug supply networks. Authorities recovered 12 pistols, two hand grenades, 310.10 grams of heroin, and 33 live cartridges. Preliminary investigations indicate the suspects had links with foreign-based handlers who used drones to smuggle weapons and narcotics. The seized arms were reportedly used for extortion-related intimidation. Police continue probing to identify further associates and connections within these networks.
