In a major crackdown, Punjab Police on Monday arrested a man in connection with a 105-kg drug haul. The detained individual, Lovepreet Singh from Chakoki village in Kapurthala, was found in possession of six kilograms of heroin.

This operation follows the apprehension of two accomplices linked to a cross-border narcotics smuggling network, responsible for trafficking drugs from Rajasthan to Punjab. Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav confirmed that Lovepreet Singh was planning to deliver the seized consignment to local drug peddlers.
