Tarn Taran: On Republic Day, the Border Security Force (BSF) achieved a significant breakthrough by arresting two individuals carrying heroin near the border in Tarn Taran, Punjab. The BSF’s PCR motorcycle team intercepted the suspects carrying a yellow packet marked with a tag, leading to immediate police action.
Details of the seizure and arrests
During the operation, two accused were apprehended while one managed to escape. Authorities recovered 511 grams of heroin valued at approximately ₹21,000 from the suspects. The arrested individuals have been identified as Navi, son of Deepak, and Vanshpal Singh, son of Bittu, both residents of Muradpura in Tarn Taran.

Punjab Police cracks narco-terror financial link
Earlier on Sunday, Punjab Police scored a major success in its ongoing campaign against narco-terrorism. The State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) in SAS Nagar uncovered a key financial link of an inter-state and cross-border narco-terror module by arresting a suspect named Satnam Singh. Initial investigations revealed that Satnam Singh played a significant role in facilitating terrorist funding. He reportedly used his bank account and UPI credentials to transfer illicit funds earned from heroin trafficking at the behest of a Pakistan-based drug trafficker managing the network.
The Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav confirmed this operation, stating that the intelligence-led action by SSOC SAS Nagar has exposed a crucial financial channel supporting narco-terror activities. The arrested individual allegedly helped route drug trafficking proceeds to terror financing through his financial channels as directed by the Pakistan-based operator.
This development highlights the concerted efforts by security and law enforcement agencies to dismantle complex drug trafficking networks that also fund terrorism, ensuring the safety and security of the region.
