Ferozepur Police Bust Cross-Border Smuggling Racket; 5.5 Kg Heroin Seized Near International Border

FEROZEPUR, February 3, 2026 — In a major breakthrough against narco-terrorism, the Ferozepur Police have dismantled a cross-border drug smuggling module, resulting in the arrest of a resident from Village Chandiwala and the recovery of 5.507 kg of high-grade heroin.

The intelligence-led operation successfully intercepted the contraband, which preliminary investigations suggest was sourced through active links with Pakistan-based smugglers. Punjab Police have registered a formal FIR and launched an extensive probe to trace both forward and backward linkages involved in this international trafficking network.

This operation reaffirms the state’s unwavering “zero-tolerance” policy against narcotics as security forces intensify their crackdown to ensure a drug-free and secure Punjab.
