Punjab Police Deal Major Blow to International Drug Cartel

In a significant development, Punjab’s Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav announced a substantial crackdown on an international drug cartel. The Punjab Police, under the leadership of CP Jalandhar, successfully dismantled the cartel, leading to the arrest of three individuals in possession of 5 kilograms of opium.

The operation uncovered a sophisticated network facilitated by multiple smugglers utilising International Courier Services to distribute narcotics to recipients in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.

Filing a First Information Report (FIR) under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, authorities have launched comprehensive investigations to trace the intricate backward and forward linkages of the cartel.

With resolute determination and unyielding dedication, the Punjab Police reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to actualising the profound vision of a drug-free Punjab, meticulously outlined by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
