Amritsar: In a significant breakthrough, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police have dismantled a trans-border narco-smuggling module, arresting two individuals identified as Sukhdev Singh and Avtar Singh, who are linked to Pakistan-based smugglers. The police also seized 10 kg of heroin, officials stated on Sunday.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused were in contact with Pakistan-based smugglers. In 2015, two Pakistani nationals reportedly crossed the border with 19.5 kg of heroin. They, along with the accused, were arrested at the time with 2.5 kg of heroin, Rs65 lakh in drug money, one pistol, and one rifle, police said.
