Punjab Police bust cross-border drug, arms smuggling ring
Punjab Police just busted a cross-border arms and drug smuggling ring, arresting two men from Tarn Taran—Gurjant Singh and Gurvel Singh.
They're accused of moving heroin and weapons from Pakistan into Punjab.
During the raid, police seized 2.5kg of heroin, five pistols, and several magazines.
An FIR has been registered as investigations dig deeper into how far this network reaches.
Tracing connections to break up entire chain
Early findings suggest the duo was taking orders from a smuggler in Pakistan, aiming to supply local gangsters in Punjab and fuel more crime.
Police are now tracing all connections to break up the entire chain behind these operations, as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle cross-border smuggling networks.
Similar case busted days ago
Just days earlier, on October 2, 2024, Amritsar police caught five others—including a minor—in another case linked to Pakistan.
That raid turned up 1.5kg of heroin and more pistols; it turns out the group was coordinating with handlers via social media to push weapons for gang rivalries in Punjab.
