Amritsar, Punjab – A municipal bulldozer was deployed to demolish a building that authorities say belongs to a person accused of drug trafficking. The demolition took place after the corporation obtained legal clearance, stating that the structure was erected without proper authorization.
The property had been flagged in a recent sweep targeting illegal assets associated with narcotics offenses. Officials explained that the action was part of a broader effort to dismantle the infrastructure that supports drug‑related crimes in the region.
Local police confirmed that the operation was carried out safely, with no injuries reported among residents or workers. The demolition underscores the city’s commitment to enforce property laws and curb the influence of drug networks.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the accused or the exact nature of the illegal construction, citing ongoing investigations.
