Punjab Police has arrested four more accused, including an Afghan national, in its ongoing terror-narcotics crackdown. The arrests mark another significant step in dismantling networks that link cross-border terrorism with drug trafficking in the region.
Officials stated that the accused were part of a larger syndicate operating across Punjab, with connections to international handlers. The Afghan national’s arrest highlights the transnational nature of the racket, which has been under close surveillance by law enforcement agencies.
Police recovered incriminating evidence during the operation, including communication records and financial trails pointing to the nexus between narcotics smuggling and terror funding. Authorities emphasized that such crackdowns are crucial to curbing both drug abuse and the financing of extremist activities.
The latest arrests add to a series of actions taken under Punjab Police’s intensified campaign against organized crime, narcotics, and terror-linked networks. Investigations are ongoing to trace further links and associates involved in the syndicate.
