Border Security Force and Amritsar police carried out coordinated raids, confiscating heroin, amphetamine and firearms, and detaining four suspects.
The Border Security Force, in partnership with the Amritsar city police, launched a series of simultaneous operations across the city on Thursday. The raids targeted locations suspected of storing illicit narcotics and illegal arms.
During the sweeps, officers recovered significant quantities of heroin and amphetamine, along with a cache of firearms and ammunition. Preliminary investigations indicate that the drug shipment entered India from across the international border.
Four individuals were taken into custody as part of the operation. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the suspects or the exact volume of contraband seized, pending formal statements from the investigating agencies.
The coordinated effort underscores the continued focus of security forces on curbing cross‑border smuggling networks that threaten public safety in Punjab.
