Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira was today arrested by the Punjab police for alleged involvement in drug smuggling and money laundering. In an early morning operation, a team of Punjab Police reached Khaira's residence and conducted a raid in connection with an old case registered in 2015 under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in Jalalabad, Fazilka. The primary accusations against Khaira include supporting an international gang of smugglers, sheltering them and receiving financial benefits from drug traffickers.
