Punjab Police: The Amritsar Commissionerate Police nabbed Yasin Mohammed from Wadali, Chheharta, and found 7.122 kilograms of heroin on him. This is a big step forward in the fight against drug-related terrorist groups. The high-profile arrest is a big win for the anti-drug effort led by the Bhagwant Mann government, which has been focusing on routes through which drugs are brought across borders.
The seizure shows that Punjab is still a target for foreign drug smugglers who try to get drugs into India through channels backed by Pakistan.
An investigation shows a link to Pakistan
According to early findings, the racket was run by Jagpreet Singh, also known as Jagga, who lives in Moga. It is said that Jagga was in direct contact with smugglers in Pakistan who organized goods that crossed the border.
Jagga was in charge of distribution in Punjab’s Malwa region, which is one of the worst hit by the state’s drug problem. He got orders from across the border. People see this discovery as a key clue that could help them break up a much bigger drug-related terror network that operates along the border between India and Pakistan.
Filed a FIR; the network is under scanner
A case has been filed at PS Chheharta in Amritsar, and police officials have stated that they are looking into both the front and back branches of the crime group.
- Backward links will show how the heroin got into India, who handled it, and how it got to India.
- Forward links will help find the local sellers and buyers in Punjab who helped move the goods around.
- Police sources said that more arrests might happen as agents try to figure out how the network works.
Punjab Police Promise Supported by CM
In their statement, the Punjab Police said again that they will not tolerate drug dealers at all. They made it clear that every piece, whether it’s local or cross-border, will be taken apart in a planned way.
CM Bhagwant Mann has always said that Punjab’s kids need to be protected from the drug problem. This latest arrest is good news for his government, which has been pushing for tougher police work, more border patrol, and community outreach to fight drug abuse.
Punjab’s ongoing fight against drug-related crime
Heroin from Pakistan has been coming into Punjab for a long time through drones, messengers, and gaps in the border. The 7.1 kg of heroin found in Amritsar not only shows how big the problem is, but it also shows that the Punjab Police are ready to face it head-on.
For the people who live there, the bust is another sign that the government is making progress in its fight against narco-terror, even though the task is still very big.
