A coordinated operation by the Border Security Force and Punjab police in Amritsar resulted in the seizure of 23 kilograms of heroin.
Amritsar witnessed a major drug bust as the Border Security Force (BSF) teamed up with Punjab police to conduct a joint operation. The raid, carried out in the city’s outskirts, led to the recovery of 23 kilograms of heroin, marking one of the largest seizures in the region this year.
Law enforcement officials said the heroin was uncovered during a targeted sweep based on intelligence inputs. The seized narcotic material has been secured and will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for forensic analysis and eventual destruction.
The successful collaboration underscores the continued focus of security agencies on curbing drug trafficking networks that operate across state borders. Officials emphasized that such joint actions are essential to dismantle supply chains and protect the community from the harmful effects of illicit drugs.
Investigations are underway to trace the source of the heroin and identify any further links to organized crime groups. The agencies have pledged to intensify monitoring and interdiction efforts in the coming weeks.
