The Punjab Police on Saturday successfully busted a major drug supply module and arrested two individuals linked to Pakistan-backed networks, in a significant breakthrough in the ongoing war against cross-border narcotics smuggling.
Acting on specific intelligence inputs, the police team intercepted the accused during a planned operation and recovered 2.8 kilograms of Methamphetamine (Ice) from their possession. The narcotics were reportedly meant for distribution across multiple districts of Punjab through a well-established supply chain.
According to officials, preliminary investigation revealed that the accused maintained contact with handlers in Pakistan who coordinated the shipment through cross-border communication channels. The consignment was allegedly smuggled across the international border using covert routes, concealed among legitimate goods.
Authorities have also identified local links and financers connected to the module and are conducting raids to apprehend the remaining members. This operation marks a continued effort by Punjab Police to dismantle drug syndicates operating with foreign support.
The Director General of Police (DGP), Punjab, commended the police teams involved for their swift and coordinated action, emphasizing that the force remains committed to keeping the state drug-free and ensuring strict vigilance along border areas.
