Jalandhar Commissionerate Police have arrested two alleged drug smugglers and recovered 5 kilograms of heroin along with ₹1.50 lakh in suspected drug money during a special operation in the city.
According to police, the accused were on their way to supply narcotics in Jalandhar when the CIA Staff received a secret tip-off about their movement. Acting swiftly, the police team set up a checkpoint and intercepted the suspects, leading to the recovery of the contraband and cash.
