Cartel Operated Through Whatsapp and Targeted Affluent Circles to Sell Cocaine, Say Police
FEROZEPUR: A smuggler involved in the cross-border trafficking was arrested with 9.4 kg of heroin along with ₹2.10 lakh of drug money in Zira, Ferozepur police said on Tuesday.
Ferozepur range DIG Harmanbir Singh Gill said the arrest was made based on intelligence inputs. "The accused, identified as Harmesh Singh alias Ramesh (25), a resident of Basti Machhia, was apprehended, while his accomplice Ajay (28) is currently absconding. The motorcycle being used to transport drugs has also been impounded," the DIG said.
"The heroin was reportedly smuggled from across the Pakistan border, where local handlers work in close coordination with cross-border networks. Our teams are investigating both backwards and forward linkages to expose and dismantle the entire supply chain," the DIG added.
He further noted that earlier, traffickers relied heavily on drones to transport large consignments. "However, following the recent interception of a drone carrying heroin during a counter-operation, smugglers have shifted to manually transporting smaller quantities" he added. A case has been registered.
