Punjab’s Anti Narcotics Task Force has busted a drug syndicate operating from Pakistan and arrested 10 accused. This syndicate was being run by Pakistani drug smugglers in Jalandhar, Amritsar and Ludhiana.
During interrogation it was revealed that they used to send the money earned from drugs to Pakistan through hawala. Apart from this, the smugglers-suppliers used to supply drugs to the youth of schools and colleges and to night clubs and discotheques to sell the drugs.
A basement was built to hide drugs
Special DGP Kuldeep Singh of Anti Narcotics Task Force said that the main leader of the gang, Lovepreet Singh, was constantly in touch with Pakistani handlers. For this, he had prepared a modern setup.
This setup was made in the basement of the house. When the ANTF team raided this place, they recovered a large amount of drugs and hawala money worth Rs 48.7 lakh from this basement. The accused also used to smuggle weapons.
