In a major recovery of narcotics, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force of the Punjab Police recovered 50 kg of heroin on Saturday after busting a trans-border drug trafficking module with the arrest of a resident of Kapurthala district.
"Big win in the war on drugs, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force of Punjab Police busts a trans-border drug trafficking module, and recovers 50 kg of heroin," said Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav.
