The Faridkot police, on Tuesday, raided a house in Jhariwala village and arrested two men with 12.1 kg of heroin. The contraband is said to have been smuggled from Pakistan using a drone.​

 

Addressing a press conference, SSP Dr Pragya Jain said the operation began after Inspector Rajesh Kumar, the head of the Sadar police station, got a crucial tip-off while on duty at a checkpoint. ​A police team raided the house and apprehended Sukhpreet Singh of Jhariwala village and Kadar Singh of Ferozepur district.

 

Jain said they had sourced the consignment from Pakistan via drone. He said this is the largest single-day heroin seizure in the district so far.

 

Further investigations are on to know the extent of their network, including their connections with smugglers in Pakistan and the methods used to smuggle large consignments.
