The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) with BSF caught a cross-border peddler carrying 26 kg heroin. In another case, Amritsar Police seized 9 kg narcotics and arrested six people, including a private schoolteacher.

Police traced all consignments to gangster Harpreet Singh, alias Happy Jatt, who runs the racket from abroad with Pakistani smugglers. Officers arrested Sajan Singh, alias Billa, with 25.9 kg heroin and a Glock pistol. He admitted to receiving several drone drops in recent months and worked with Happy Jatt through social media.

Amritsar Commissionerate Police also busted two more cartels, arresting Honey (18), Parmdeep Singh (18), Harwinder Singh (19), Gurpreet Singh (25), Jasbir Kaur (40) and Kulwinder Kaur (54). The seizures included 8.062 kg heroin. Jasbir Kaur reportedly had direct links with Pakistan-based suppliers.

Officials said the crackdown is a big step forward, though drone smuggling in Punjab remains a growing challenge.

SSP Pragya Jain said the consignment came from Pakistan by drone. The accused stored it at a house in Jhariwala village for distribution to local peddlers. Police believe they are part of a wider network linked with Pakistani smugglers. Both men remain in custody while officers question them to trace other members of the syndicate.

Calling it the largest single-day seizure in Faridkot’s history, Jain stressed the importance of tighter border checks and advanced surveillance.

At the same time, police revealed that traffickers are exploiting Punjab’s flood crisis to push drugs and liquor. Just days earlier, officers seized 880 cartons of liquor from a truck headed to Gujarat, where alcohol is banned. Another truck carrying 120 cartons was intercepted in Moga. These incidents show that smugglers are taking advantage of the state’s difficult situation to expand their illegal trade.
