Punjab Police Seize 20 kg Heroin
Punjab Police, along with the Border Security Force, conducted a major operation to stop drug smuggling.
They found 20 kg of heroin and caught four people involved.
These people were working with handlers in Pakistan to bring and distribute drugs.
The police are now investigating to find more people involved and stop the drug supply.
Last week, they also caught seven people and found more drugs and a gun.
The police are using this information to track down more smugglers and their bosses.
Punjab Police and BSF seized 20 kg of heroin and arrested four suspects in a joint operation.
The key operative was managing the drug supply chain and was linked to Pakistan-based handlers.
A FIR has been registered under the NDPS Act, and the investigation is ongoing to identify cross-border handlers and dismantle the network.
