- Four people were apprehended, including a key operative and a 17-year-old; the adults were identified as Sahibjit Singh, Rajwinder Singh and Ashu Sharma, all from Amritsar.
- Police say the group moved to retrieve a drone-delivered consignment, prompting teams to set a checkpoint that intercepted the suspects.
