The Anti-Narcotic Cell of the police nabbed a smuggler and recovered 100 gram of heroin from his possession. The smuggler was on the way to deliver the consignment of drugs to his clients.

The smuggler has been identified as Manjinder Singh, alias Ravi, resident of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar.

Inspector Rajesh Kumar, in-charge of the Anti-Narcotic Cell, said a police party, led by ASI Major Singh, was present near the Tajpur chowk, where on suspicion Manjinder was stopped for checking. During the checking of his belongings 100 gram of heroin was recovered from him.

Inspector Rajesh said Manjinder had a notorious past as he was also booked by the Jandiala Guru police in a drug case in 2020. After coming out on bail, Manjinder again started drug smuggling.

Manjinder was a daily wager and he started the notorious trade to become rich in a short span of time.

Inspector Rajesh said Manjinder had bought the drug from some big heroin smuggler, namely Saab, living in Jandiala Guru, and now he had to sell the same to his clients in the Ludhiana district.

A case under the NDPS Act has been registered against Manjinder.
