Virk pointed out a growing drug-crime nexus in Punjab, noting that affluent sections consume cocaine while poorer sections depend on cheap pills.

Virk, speaking at the 'Anmute Bharat' programme, highlighted the worsening drug-crime nexus in Punjab. He observed that the state's affluent sections are increasingly turning to cocaine for recreational use. In contrast, poorer sections are sinking into dependence on cheap, low-cost pills. The remarks underscore the stark divide in substance abuse patterns across different socio-economic groups in Punjab.
