The Batala police, acting on a tip-off, have arrested four drug smugglers and recovered 1.5 kg heroin and 500 grams of crystal methamphetamine, also known as Ice, from them.
The police say the recovery of Ice is dangerous as it means youth are slowly meandering towards it after the cops have tightened the screws against heroin smugglers. Sources say it is also known as crystal meth or rock. The names of the smugglers are being kept secret.
