Ferozepur: Ferozepur Police on Friday arrested Sonu Singh, a resident of Habibwala, and recovered 15.775 kilograms of heroin from his possession in a swift, intelligence-based operation.
Initial investigations indicate that the smuggling network was being run by an accused lodged in Kapurthala Jail, while the seized consignment was pushed into India by Pakistan-based traffickers.
Police have registered an FIR and launched further investigations to trace the wider network and its local linkages.
