Overview

  • The operation in Ludhiana targeted Gurpal, who faces nine NDPS charges and is believed to have fled to Himachal Pradesh after years of smuggling.
  • Authorities also razed the home of Rajinder Kaur alias Rozy, a female smuggler currently in jail on two NDPS counts.
  • Municipal Corporation Ludhiana teams, with Ludhiana Commissionerate Police, employed bulldozers and manual crews under tight security to carry out the demolitions.
  • These two demolitions bring to 126 the total of assets linked to drug trafficking torn down across Punjab since March 1.
  • Officials say the campaign reflects the state government’s zero-tolerance stance against narcotics networks and illicit wealth, with operations conducted under strict legal protocols and local backing.
