The SIA carried out raids at multiple locations in the border district and questioned several people to expose the narco-terror module headed by Rafiq Lala, who was arrested under the Public Safety Act (PSA) early this year, they said.
On Saturday, the SIA raided over half-a-dozen places, including Lala’s house in Danna Doyiyan village in Mandi tehsil.
In March, 7 kilograms of heroin, over Rs 2 crore in cash and a pistol along with some ammunition were recovered from Lala’s house.
