In a major crackdown on illegal arms smuggling and hawala networks, the Amritsar Rural Police have arrested four individuals with suspected links to Pakistani smugglers. The accused—Jagroop Singh alias Baba, Hardeep Singh, Rajbir Singh alias Gullu, and Arsal Singh alias Rasal Singh—were allegedly involved in facilitating financial transactions and smuggling weapons across the border.

 

During the operation, police recovered:

Four Glock 9mm pistols

Five magazines

₹3,05,010 in hawala money

 

A case has been registered at Police Station Gharinda, Amritsar, and investigations are underway to track both the forward and backward linkages of this cross-border smuggling network. Authorities are working to identify other associates and dismantle the entire illegal operation.

The Bhagwant Mann government has been taking strict action against organized crime, and this latest operation reinforces the Punjab Police’s commitment to ensuring public safety. Officials have assured that no smuggler or criminal network will be spared, and law enforcement agencies will continue to act decisively against illegal activities in the state.

With Punjab being a key target for cross-border smuggling, the government is focused on tightening security, strengthening intelligence operations, and taking swift action against those involved in such networks.

Punjab has long been a transit point for drug and arms smuggling from across the border, posing a major security threat. The state government, under Bhagwant Mann's leadership, is focusing on advanced surveillance, intelligence sharing, and coordinated operations to curb such activities. The latest arrests are expected to reveal crucial links to the larger network, helping authorities tighten their grip on cross-border crime.
