On Friday, May 22, 2025 the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police, along with the Jalandhar Rural Police, demolished two unauthorized structures linked to drug traffickers.
Commissioner of Police Dhanpreet Kaur stated that one of the demolished properties was an illegal building in Abadpura, owned by Honey Kalyanwas, a well-known drug peddler with five FIRs filed against him.
“This will act as a catalyst in creating deterrence among those involved in such heinous crimes,” Kaur said.
Meanwhile, Jalandhar Rural senior superintendent of police, Harvinder Singh Virk, said that a shop of Vijay Masih, another infamous drug trafficker, was demolished.
Masih, a resident of Mohalla Uchi Ghati in Phillaur, is a history-sheeter with 21 criminal cases, including charges of drug trafficking, attempt to murder, and more.
“Masih had constructed this shop illegally and the demolition was carried out after necessary legal orders from the executive officer, Phillaur,” Virk added.
Virk also said that Masih had previously purchased one and a half acres of land in Phillaur using money from drug sales, which was frozen earlier by the competent authority in New Delhi.
