Those arrested were identified as Gurpinder Singh of Chak Mishri village and Sajan of Indira Colony.

"In an intelligence-led operation, the CI busted an international narco-smuggling module operated by foreign-based smuggler Jassa and arrested his India-based operatives — Gurpinder Singh and Sajan, both residents of Amritsar, " said DGP Punjab Police Gaurav Yadav on X.

The CI confiscated 10kg heroin and Rs 1 lakh drug money from them.

The DGP said Jassa was wanted in multiple NDPS and Arms Act cases by the Punjab Police while a fresh FIR was registered at SSOC, police station here. Further investigation is underway to trace the forward and backward linkages, he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
