Four held with 20 kg heroin in Amritsar
Punjab Police caught four people, including a teenager, with a lot of heroin in Amritsar.
They think these people were working with others from Pakistan to bring drugs into India using drones.
The police have started investigating to find out more about who else is involved and how the drugs were being brought in.
They also took away a car and two motorcycles that belonged to the people they caught.
Four people, including a 17-year-old minor, were arrested in Amritsar with nearly 20 kg of heroin.
The key operative is believed to be linked to Pakistan-based handlers coordinating drug distribution.
An FIR has been registered under the NDPS Act, and an investigation is underway to identify cross-border handlers and dismantle the network.
Police impounded a car and two motorcycles belonging to the accused.
The accused were reportedly heading towards the border area to retrieve a heroin consignment smuggled via a drone.
