Punjab: In a significant drug bust, the Punjab Police apprehended four drug traffickers and seized a total of 77 kg of heroin from them in two separate intelligence-led operations conducted by the Counter Intelligence Wing, Ferozepur.

Punjab Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav, announced the successful operation on Twitter, stating that these drug smuggling modules posed a serious threat to the state and that the police are committed to making Punjab a drug-free region, in line with the vision of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann. FIRs have been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Fazilka, and further investigations are underway to dismantle the drug smuggling network.
The drug bust follows another recent success for the Punjab Police when they busted an illegal weapon smuggling module from Madhya Pradesh.
