Heroin Haul: Punjab Police Net 40kg, Bust International Cartel

Bathinda Police executed a major operation on July 8, 2025, arresting six individuals and seizing a substantial 40 kg of heroin. The contraband was reportedly smuggled from Pakistan.

The seizure signifies a significant blow to an international drug trafficking syndicate operating across the border. Investigations suggest the heroin was destined for distribution within Punjab.

Police are currently pursuing leads to identify other members of the cartel and dismantle the entire supply chain. Further investigations are underway to trace the origin of the narcotics and the network’s reach.

This operation underscores the persistent threat of cross-border drug smuggling and its devastating impact on Punjab. The state’s continued vigilance and proactive law enforcement efforts are crucial in combating this menace.
