Delhi Police Investigate Drug and Weapon Smuggling Networks Linked to Punjab
Delhi Police uncovered two separate criminal networks involving drug and weapon smuggling linked to Punjab. One operation involved smuggling nearly 3 kg of opium concealed in sweets from India to Canada, allegedly financing arms trafficking to Punjab gangsters connected to separatist leader Arsh Dalla. Another investigation began after a nightclub shooting in Haryana, leading to arrests and the seizure of a sophisticated pistol, with suspected ties to a Pakistan-based terror network and foreign handlers. Both cases are under active investigation for cross-border criminal links.
