CP holds raid in Shimlapuri to nab peddlers

Commissioner of Police (CP), Ludhiana, Kuldeep Singh Chahal, along with a team on Friday raided Satguru Nagar mohalla in the Shimlapuri area to catch drug smugglers.

The CP said a raid was conducted after receiving complaints from some residents that some people were indulging in drug smuggling. Eight suspects were rounded up and their questioning was on.

“Raid is a part of the special campaign launched by the Punjab Police against drug traffickers. Area residents also appreciated the campaign. I also asked the people to give information about drug traffickers in their area and the name and address of the informer will be kept confidential. Residents also vowed to support the police in the ongoing campaign,” the CP said.
