Punjab’s Special Ops Bust Cross‑Border Heroin and Weapon Ring in Amritsar

A major crackdown by Punjab’s Special Operation Cell and Counter‑Intelligence units in Amritsar resulted in the capture of six suspects and the recovery of 2.920 kilograms of heroin along with eight sophisticated pistols. Preliminary investigations reveal that the gang was part of a larger cross‑border smuggling operation, employing drones to ferry illegal goods into the state. The police have registered separate FIRs at the Cant and Cheharata police stations, and a comprehensive probe is in progress to trace the network’s foreign handlers and cut off further supplies.
