The four terror suspects arrested from the Bastara toll plaza here after the seizure of three IEDs weighing 2.5 kg each were allegedly involved in the delivery of drugs and arms in various parts of the country, including Punjab, as per police investigation.

Sources said the accused recently supplied 14 kg of heroin in various parts of Punjab.

The Haryana Police claimed that Pakistan-based terrorist Harvinder Singh, alias Rinda, had arms and drugs dropped in the border belt via drones.
