Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh/SAS Nagar, October 4-
Amidst the ongoing drive to make Punjab a drug-free state, SAS Nagar Police has busted an International drug trafficking syndicate that used jackets to smuggle heroin into the state, with the arrest of its two operatives and recovered three half-sleeve jackets stashed with 500 grams heroin in each from their possession, said DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Friday.
Those arrested have been identified as Sukhdeep Singh alias Raja, a resident of Bhana in Faridkot and Krishan, a resident of Ajaib in Rohtak. Apart from recovering 1.5kg heroin, Police teams have also impounded their white coloured Hyundai Aura (HR 12 AT 7091) car, which they were using to smuggle narcotics in the guise of a taxi.
DGP said that preliminary investigation has revealed that these drug consignments were bought from an Afghan national based in Delhi, exposing their network with international drug cartels and their clever tactics of hiding heroin in jackets to evade detection.
