Bathinda Bust: 40kg Heroin Seizure Exposes Pak-Punjab Drug Pipeline
Punjab Police made a significant drug bust in Bathinda on July 8, 2025, arresting six individuals and seizing 40 kilograms of heroin. The contraband, concealed within a Toyota Fortuner SUV, is believed to have originated in Pakistan.
Investigations reveal the heroin was destined for distribution across Punjab. This underscores the persistent threat of cross-border drug trafficking.
Two of the arrested individuals have prior criminal records, indicating a possible organised network. Police are actively pursuing leads to identify further accomplices and dismantle the entire supply chain.
The ongoing investigation is crucial to understanding the extent of this operation and curbing the flow of narcotics into the state. The seizure highlights the need for strengthened border security and intensified anti-drug operations to protect Punjab’s youth from the devastating consequences of addiction.
