Amritsar police, supported by specialised narcotics and security units, carried out a joint operation on Saturday targeting suspected drug trafficking activities in the city. The raid was conducted at a location identified through intelligence inputs and involved a systematic search of the premises.
During the sweep, officers uncovered a quantity of heroin, several ammunition cartridges and a small drone that appeared to be used for surveillance. All seized items were handed over to the forensic laboratory for further analysis.
