Punjab Police on Monday apprehended a suspect connected with an alleged arms and drugs trafficking module, seized seven high-end pistols and 2.1 kg of heroin from him, a senior official said.

Initial probe shows the accused was in touch with a foreign-based smuggler using virtual numbers and was receiving drug and arms consignment supplies for distribution in Punjab, the DGP said.

 

A case has been registered in Amritsar, and police are now probing backward and forward links to identify others involved in the network.
