Punjab Armed Police

Police said on Tuesday that preliminary investigations had revealed links between the arrested accused and foreign-based handlers and gangsters who allegedly facilitated the supply of illegal weapons and narcotics through drone-based consignments.

During the operation, Punjab police busted four modules engaged in smuggling of arms and narcotics and recovered 14pistols and over 20 kg of heroin.

The incident once again brought drug abuse in the state into focus and drew criticism from opposition leaders against the Aam Aadmi Party government.

According to Amritsar Rural Police, the gang was allegedly assembled by a man lodged in Goindwal Sahib Central Jail, who had re-established contact with Pakistani ISI handlers through a mobile phone.

What does the availability of sophisticated illegal weapons indicate about the state's evolving law-and-order and security challenge?

The court's order records that the Enforcement Directorate had cited 21 instances allegedly involving interference in the transfers and postings of government officers across various departments.

The incident occurred when Sukhchain Singh was returning home from his duty

Police say the AAP leader's motorcycle was chased by armed assailants travelling in a car before he was shot in Ferozepur's Mamdot, with an old, possibly election-linked dispute suspected.

The draft reservation and rehabilitation policy for Agniveers involve reservation of 10 per cent of police constable posts and 20 per cent of office guard posts for them. But this is yet to be implemented

The recovered weapons include nine 9 mm pistols and one .30 bore pistol. Police also seized a grey Bajaj Platina motorcycle, bearing registration number PB-38-C-1658, which was allegedly being used to transport the arms.

Punjab Police said it has busted two ISI-backed cross-border terror modules and arrested 9 accused, including four juveniles, with arms and ammunition

Officials say such tactics make it more difficult to detect low-flying drones, allowing smugglers to retrieve consignments before security agencies can respond.

Officials said the operation was based on intelligence inputs and evidence gathered during ongoing investigations.

Police described the module as operating on instructions from Pakistan to conduct terrorist strikes, smuggle arms and drugs, and gather intelligence on potential targets.

पुलिस के मुताबिक, यह गिरोह पाकिस्तान से पंजाब के रास्ते अवैध हथियार, कारतूस और नशीले पदार्थ मंगाकर दिल्ली-एनसीआर में सप्लाई करता था. कार्रवाई के दौरान पुलिस ने 5 पिस्टल, 41 जिंदा कारतूस, 7 मोबाइल फोन और एक स्कॉर्पियो गाड़ी बरामद की है.
