Sudar police station officers raided a suspected drug dealer’s house in Mohi village before sunrise on Saturday, confiscating 268 kilograms of heroin.
Sudar police station, operating under the state’s intensified anti‑drug campaign, launched a pre‑dawn operation in Mohi village, Ludhiana district, on Saturday. Officers entered the suspect’s residence shortly before sunrise and discovered a large stash of heroin, locally referred to as “chura.”
The raid resulted in the seizure of approximately 268 kilograms of the narcotic, marking one of the biggest drug busts reported in the region this year. No injuries or arrests were reported in the initial statement, but the police have indicated that investigations are ongoing to identify the network behind the cache.
Authorities said the operation is part of a broader effort to curb drug trafficking in Punjab, a state that has faced a surge in substance abuse and related crimes. The seized heroin will be handed over to forensic labs for further analysis, and the case will be forwarded to the district court for prosecution.
Local residents expressed relief at the police action, hoping it will deter future drug‑related activities in the area. The police have urged the public to cooperate with law‑enforcement agencies by reporting any suspicious activity.
