Punjab police detained four suspects in Mohali as part of a drug network they say was directed by handlers from Pakistan.
Punjab police announced the arrest of four individuals in Mohali on Tuesday, saying the suspects were part of a narcotics network that operated on instructions from handlers based in Pakistan. The operation was launched after intelligence inputs indicated that the group was using the Mohali‑Chandigarh corridor to distribute illicit substances.
The arrested persons were taken into custody at a local police station, and a preliminary search yielded small quantities of narcotics and related paraphernalia.
Investigators have opened a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and are probing the alleged cross‑border links. Further arrests are possible as the probe continues.
