Multi-Agency Raids in Punjab and Jammu Net Major Heroin and Arms Hauls as BSF Foils Border Smuggling

Investigators now target financial channels, cross-border handlers, drone routes following intelligence-led seizures.

Overview

  • BSF apprehended a suspected smuggler near Pakhoke Mahimara in Gurdaspur and recovered 11.08 kg of heroin along with a pistol, with packets prepared for cross-border drops using taped hooks and illuminating strips.
  • Amritsar Commissionerate Police arrested five suspects and seized six pistols, including a Glock 9mm, and about 1.10 kg of heroin, with FIRs registered under the Arms Act and NDPS Act as inquiries trace Pakistan-based handlers.
  • Punjab Police separately arrested Arun Singh in an alleged MP-based weapons module and recovered nine pistols, saying the cache was tied to a planned target killing and that further arrests are expected.
  • Jammu Police said two peddlers were caught with 3.260 kg of heroin in a racket linked to Pakistan- and Punjab-based smugglers, as financial probes in Poonch froze dozens of bank accounts and followed recent property attachments.
  • BSF reported additional coordinated recoveries across Punjab border sectors, including drones and heroin packets, while Delhi Police announced fresh arrests and drug seizures as part of wider follow-up actions.
