Earlier on Sunday, Punjab Police claimed to have foiled a trans-border drug smuggling attempt with the arrest of two drug smugglers after recovering 20 kilograms of heroin from their possession in the Fazilka district.

The smugglers were identified as Subeg Singh, a resident of Lakhmir Ke Uttar village, and Sandip Singh alias Seepa of Mansa village in Fazilka, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said.

According to Yadav, they received a tip-off that Pakistan-based smugglers would drop a large heroin consignment from across the border using drones and that the duo would come to collect it. Acting on the information, teams of the state special operation cell (SSOC) carried out an extensive operation at Haste ke Road near Rano village, the DGP said.

Upon seeing the police team, the duo tried to flee on their motorbike but the police apprehended them following a brief scuffle, he added. Ten packets of heroin, weighing 20 kg, were recovered from the accused, the police said.
