Punjab’s Ferozepur police successfully dismantled a cross-border smuggling attempt and arrested one person while recovering over 15 kg of heroin from possession, informed the Director General of Punjab police, Gaurav Yadav, on Sunday.

 

"In a swift, intelligence-led operation, Ferozepur Police dismantles a cross-border drug smuggling attempt by arresting Sonu Singh, a resident of Habibwala, Ferozepur, and recovering 15.775 kg of heroin from his possession," DGP said in a post on X.

 

Initial probe reveals that the drug network is operated by an accused currently lodged in Kapurthala Jail, while the consignment was sent by Pakistan-based smugglers, he said, adding that an FIR has been registered, and further investigation is underway to expose the entire network, including its forward and backward linkages.
