Punjab Police and BSF Seize 20 Kg Heroin Near Amritsar, Arrest Four

Investigators are tracing Pakistan-based handlers under a new NDPS case.

Overview

  • A joint ANTF-BSF action recovered 19.980 kg of heroin packed in five packets from fields near Bhindi Aulakh village after suspect questioning.
  • 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.
  • Officers impounded a Maruti Brezza and two motorcycles, and an NDPS FIR was registered at the ANTF police station in Mohali as the probe advances.
  • The operation follows last week’s Amritsar case with seven arrests, 4.075 kg heroin, 1 kg methamphetamine and a 9mm Glock, which investigators link to cross-border coordination via social media.
