ANTF seize 50 kg heroin in major anti-drug operation; Key smuggler arrested
Ferozepur, November 22, 2025: In a major breakthrough under the Punjab Government’s ongoing war against drugs, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) has achieved significant success by arresting Sandeep Singh, linked to a huge heroin trafficking network.
According to DGP Punjab Police, who shared the information on X, the ANTF recovered 50 kg of heroin during an intelligence-based operation. The consignment was reportedly part of a trans-border shipment sent from Pakistan by ISI-backed smugglers into India.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused has previously been involved in multiple cases under the NDPS Act. He had recently come out on bail, and the police are now probing his forward and backward linkages. Officials believe more arrests and recoveries are likely as the investigation progresses.
The Punjab Police reaffirmed their full commitment to making the state drug-free and intensifying the crackdown on trafficking networks.
