NCB Freezes Rs 2.79 Crore Assets of Absconding Drug Trafficker in Tarn Taran
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Amritsar unit has frozen assets worth approximately Rs 2.79 crore linked to Harmanjit Singh Sandhu, an absconding drug trafficker from Tarn Taran. The action follows a probe into a drone-based cross-border drug trafficking case where 18 kg of narcotics were seized in February. Sandhu is alleged to have coordinated with Pakistan-based smugglers and remains evading arrest. The frozen assets include agricultural land, vehicles, and a residential house, with no legitimate income source established for their acquisition.
