Punjab Police on Sunday claimed to have busted a cross-border arms and narcotics smuggling module with links to Pakistan and arrested two men.

Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said the accused have been identified as Gurjant Singh and Gurvel Singh, residents of Tarn Taran.

Police seized 2.5 kg of heroin along with five sophisticated pistols and magazines from them.

"Preliminary investigation reveals that the arrested accused were acting on the directions of a Pakistan-based smuggler to smuggle the contraband from across the border. The recovered arms were meant to be supplied to gangsters and criminals to fuel unlawful activities in Punjab," Yadav said on X.
