In a joint operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) successfully arrested two narcotics smugglers here on Tuesday evening.

The coordinated action led to the recovery of heroin and the seizure of a motorcycle. Acting on credible intelligence by the NCB, BSF and NCB personnel launched a swift operation in the Khasa market area, resulting in the arrest of two suspects.

Officials confirmed that a packet of heroin weighing 365 grams was recovered from their possession. Besides, a motorcycle used in the illicit trade was also seized.

Those arrested have been identified as Akashbir and Jodhbir Singh, both residents of Chawinda Khurd village in Amritsar. They would be produced in a court, said NCB sources while adding that certain big names have cropped up during their preliminary probe.

“Both the suspects are currently in the custody of the NCB,” said the NCB sources.
