The Amritsar rural police seized over 2kg of heroin from a drug peddler in the Chatiwind police station area on Sunday. The arrested individual, identified as Hardeep Singh, alias Siti, is a resident of Guru Ka Khu in Tarn Taran.
According to Lakhwinder Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Attari, the police acted on specific information and signaled Hardeep, who was traveling on a scooter from Rajewal to Manawala Road. Instead of stopping, he tried to escape by taking a U-turn but was swiftly apprehended by the police team. During the search, officers discovered over 2kg of heroin hidden in the scooter’s dickey.
A case has been filed under the NDPS Act, and Hardeep Singh was presented before a duty magistrate before being placed in police remand for further investigation. Authorities are now looking into his connections and attempting to trace the source of the contraband.
