Hoshiarpur Police Busts Drug-Arms Module

India — Hoshiarpur Police, under the direction of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and led by DGP Gaurav Yadav and SSP Sandeep Kumar Malik, busted a major inter-state/foreign-linked narcotics and illegal arms module. Four operatives, Manjinder Singh, Shivam Bhandari, Sahil Masih, and Ramel Roger, were arrested. The police recovered 9.925 kg of heroin, two foreign-made pistols, eight magazines, and 40 live cartridges. Preliminary investigations indicate the arrested individuals were in direct contact with foreign-based gangsters, facilitating drug trafficking and illegal weapon supply in the region. Sahil Masih is also a habitual offender involved in a previous firing incident at a police party in Batala. Further investigations are ongoing to dismantle the entire network.
