Amritsar: In a major crackdown on illegal assets, Amritsar police, in collaboration with the Municipal Corporation, demolished the house of drug trafficker Rohit, also known as Kalu, in the Pyara Singh Haveli area under Mohkam Pura police station on Tuesday. The operation was conducted under tight security, with the area cordoned off to prevent any untoward incident.
