Amritsar Police Bust Two Drug Supply Modules Linked to Pakistan-Based Smugglers; ICE Recovered
Amritsar Commissionerate Police have busted two drug supply modules allegedly linked to Pakistan-based smugglers, arresting two accused and recovering a total of 2.815 kg of Methamphetamine (ICE) from their possession, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said.
The arrested accused have been identified as Gursevak Singh alias Sevak, a resident of village Gharyala in Tarn Taran, and Baljit Singh, a resident of Guru Nanakpura in Amritsar.
According to the preliminary investigation, the accused were in contact with their Pakistan-based handlers through virtual numbers to coordinate the pickup and delivery of drug consignments within Punjab. They often selected delivery points near religious places to avoid suspicion, the DGP added.
He said that investigations are underway to establish the forward and backward linkages of the network.
Operational Details:
Commissioner of Police (CP) Amritsar Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that in the first case, police teams set up a checkpoint near Dana Mandi, Amritsar, based on specific intelligence inputs. During the operation, Gursevak Singh alias Sevak was apprehended, and 40 grams of Methamphetamine (ICE) was recovered from his possession.
Based on his disclosure, a follow-up operation led to the recovery of an additional 1.96 kg of ICE, the CP said.
He further added that Gursevak, a resident of the border area, was in regular contact with a Pakistan-based smuggler through virtual communication platforms and had been personally picking up and delivering consignments as directed by his handler.
In another operation, acting on reliable information, police teams set up a checkpoint near Ryan International School at Vallah Bypass Road in Amritsar and arrested Baljit Singh, recovering 45 grams of ICE from his possession. Further recovery of an additional 770 grams of ICE was made based on his disclosure, the CP said.
CP Gurpreet Singh Bhullar assured that further investigations are underway to identify cross-border handlers, trace supply routes, and dismantle the entire distribution chain operating between Punjab and Pakistan-based networks.
Two separate cases have been registered as FIR No 306 dated 06-11-2025 under section 21(B) of the NDPS Act at Police Station Gate Hakima, Amritsar and FIR No. 240 dated 27-10-2025 under section 21(B) and 21(C) of the NDPS Act at Police Station Maqboolpura, Amritsar.
The arrests are part of the state’s ongoing drive to make Punjab a drug-free state as per the directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann.
