The arrest took place during a routine patrol, where officers grew suspicious of the individual's behavior. Upon searching him, the contraband was discovered concealed in his possession. The accused has been identified as a resident of Shahkot, and preliminary investigations suggest his involvement in the local drug trade. The police have registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and are further interrogating him to trace the source of the heroin. This operation is part of the broader efforts by the Punjab Police to curb the menace of drug abuse in the state. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to making the region drug-free and have urged citizens to cooperate by providing information about any suspicious activities. The accused will be produced before the court to seek police remand for further investigation.
