In a significant breakthrough, the Punjab Police announced on Wednesday that they have dismantled a cross-border narcotics network with the arrest of three individuals in two separate operations.
Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav reported that officers recovered 5.4 kg of heroin, two Chinese-made pistols, and other related items during these operations. The suspects, identified as Sandeep Singh, Judge Singh, and Babbu Singh, hailed from Ferozepur.
