Two women nabbed with intoxicating pills

Ludhiana, July 14

The Ludhiana rural police arrested two women and seized 100 intoxicating tablets from their possession on Saturday. The suspects were identified as Simranjit Kaur and Premo Bai of Kholia Wala Pul in Malsiyan Bajan in Sidhwan Bet.

As per information, when assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Lakhwinder Singh of the Sidhwan Bet police station, along with a police team, was conducting a routine patrolling near Giddarwindi, he got a tip-off that the women were into the drug smuggling trade and they were on the way to deliver intoxicating pills to their clients in the Sidhwan Bet area. They had come out on bail from jail recently in a drug case. The police team laid a naka at a strategic point and stopped them. During the checking of their belongings, 100 intoxicating pills were seized.

A case under the NDPS Act was registered against the duo. Links of the women were also being probed and big fish involved in the racket would also be nabbed, he said.

The police said in 2023, both of them were arrested with drugs and recently they came out on bail and continued the illegal trade. In further investigation, more recovery of drugs could also be made.
