Punjab Police’s Anti-Narcotics Task Force, along with the Border Security Force, discovered 12 kg of heroin near Daleke village in Lopoke, Amritsar district. The Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav, mentioned that the recovery was made during routine patrolling after receiving information about a drone in the area.
Following the tip-off, joint teams conducted a thorough search at the suspected location, leading to the recovery of the heroin consignment. The total weight of the seized contraband, along with its packaging, was recorded at 12.050 kg. Superintendent of Police Gurpreet Singh stated that investigations are ongoing to establish connections in the case using technical and human intelligence.
Authorities have identified suspects linked to the recovered heroin and are currently carrying out raids to apprehend them. Earlier this month, the Border Security Force had intercepted heroin, opium, and a drone carrying pistol parts in separate operations near Amritsar. These successful operations underscore the BSF’s dedication and effectiveness in combating smuggling activities along the International border.
