According to the police, all the accused are residents of Amritsar and Tarn Taran areas.

Police say that an FIR has been registered against the accused at Gharinda police station in Amritsar. Further investigation is on to expose the entire network and its relations.
Anti-drone technology will arrive by October
The police has prepared a complete strategy to stop the smuggling of weapons and drugs coming through drones from across the border. Anti-drone technology will soon be purchased by the Punjab government. Trials have been conducted with companies for this. It is believed that this system will reach the Punjab Police by October.
After this, the consignment coming from Pakistan can be easily stopped. On the other hand, the government is running a war against drugs. In this, people involved in drug smuggling are being arrested under the legal process.
