Major Drug Bust in Amritsar: 25 Kg Heroin Seized, Two Arrested

In a significant clampdown on cross-border smuggling, Punjab Police and the Border Security Force (BSF) seized 25 kg of heroin in Amritsar, prompting the arrest of two suspects. The operation was announced on Sunday by a senior police officer, marking a substantial victory in the fight against narcotics trafficking.

The Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav stated that the haul also included two pistols and 60 live rounds, indicating an organized smuggling network possibly using drones for border crossings. The operation, conducted in the Ghogha area, highlights the pervasive challenge of smuggling in the region.

According to DGP Yadav, efforts are underway to expose the full extent of this smuggling ring, focusing on tracing both forward and backward linkages. An FIR has been filed, and further investigations are in progress to dismantle the involvement of any additional conspirators.
