The development came a day after teams from the Sadar Bathinda Police, led by Station House Officer (SHO) Sadar Bathinda Anubhav Jain, arrested Amandeep Kaur after recovering 17.71 gm of heroin from a black Mahindra Thar, which the latter was driving.

The police teams impounded the vehicle, bearing registration number Punjab-05-AQ-7720. The accused constable was temporarily posted at the Bathinda police lines.
