Police in several north Indian states have carried out a series of drug‑smuggling busts. In Haryana’s Fatehabad district, officers arrested inter‑state smuggler Aman Kumar and recovered 477 g of heroin. Earlier, a Rajasthan resident was detained in the same district with 13 kg 285 g of heroin. In Punjab, Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav announced the seizure of 20 kg of heroin in Amritsar and the arrest of an operative linked to a cross‑border network. A separate operation in Ludhiana’s Moti Nagar area led to the capture of a suspect with 100 g of heroin, two pistols and live cartridges. Reports also cite a bust of a Dubai‑based cartel that yielded 111 kg of heroin. The arrests are being pursued under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, with authorities emphasizing a zero‑tolerance policy toward drug trafficking.
