Ten operatives were nabbed, with authorities confiscating over 5.4 kg of pure heroin, three premium pistols—a Glock 9mm, Zigana 9mm, and .32 bore—34 live rounds, and a small cache of cash amounting to Rs 4,500.

Preliminary interrogations point to deep links with Pakistani handlers who coordinated via encrypted social media channels. The modules efficiently funneled the illicit goods into India, leveraging a vast distribution web to supply addicts and criminals across regions.

The operation underscores Punjab’s aggressive anti-drug stance. FIRs have been filed under stringent NDPS and Arms Act provisions, and investigators are racing to map out accomplices on both sides of the border.

Under the flagship ‘Yudh Narcotics Ke Virudh’ drive, Punjab’s task force has made 103 arrests in 363 days, seizing substantial quantities of heroin, synthetic drugs, and proceeds. Rehabilitation efforts have also motivated 31 people to seek treatment, highlighting a holistic approach.

Police vow intensified surveillance and crackdowns. Citizens are encouraged to stay vigilant and share intelligence, as community cooperation proves vital in dismantling these threats to society.
