Police in Amritsar arrested two smugglers and recovered nearly 7.75 kg of heroin along with four pistols from their possession.
In a major crackdown, Amritsar police apprehended two smugglers and seized a substantial quantity of narcotics and illegal weapons from them. The recovery included nearly 7.75 kg of heroin and four pistols, marking a significant haul in the region's ongoing anti-narcotics drive.
The arrests underline the persistent challenge of drug trafficking in Punjab's border belt, where smugglers frequently attempt to push contraband across the border. The seized heroin and firearms suggest the suspects were operating as part of an organised network.
Authorities are expected to intensify interrogation of the accused to trace the supply chain and identify other individuals linked to the racket. The latest operation adds to a series of recent seizures aimed at curbing the drug menace in the state.
