A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at Police Station City Tarn Taran. Investigations are ongoing to trace the entire network’s forward and backward linkages, aiming to dismantle the entire syndicate.

The Punjab Police reaffirmed their commitment to dismantling cross-border smuggling and ensuring a #DrugFreePunjab through sustained and intelligence-driven action.

According to sources within the police, the seized consignment was intended to fuel both drug trade and possible terror activities within India, indicating a dangerous nexus between narcotics and arms smuggling. Investigators are now examining call records, financial trails, and cross-border communication to identify other members of the network, both in India and abroad. High-level coordination with central agencies has also been initiated to probe deeper into the international dimensions of the racket.
