A significant breakthrough in law enforcement was achieved as Punjab Police dismantled a narcotics and illegal arms module. The operation led to the arrest of four individuals and recovery of significant contraband in Hoshiarpur.

The seizure included over nine kg of heroin, two foreign-made pistols, eight magazines, and 40 live cartridges. This operation was announced by Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav in a public statement.

Initial investigations suggest the arrested individuals were local operatives for foreign-based drug lords. A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed, and further investigations aim to uncover and disrupt broader criminal networks.
