The Customs Department on June 30 said it had seized 532 kg of suspected heroin, worth around 2,700 crore, being smuggled from Pakistan in a truck through the trade route at the Attari border, reports The Hindu. “A consignment of 532 kg of suspected heroin and another 52 kg of suspected mixed narcotics were seized in the import consignment at Integrated Check Post, Attari on June 29. The consignment was hidden under bags of salt in the truck which had come from Pakistan,” an official said. One person was also arrested while another was detained, adds The Indian Express. Apart from the heroin, 52 kg of a mixed narcotic substance was also seized at the Integrated Check Post (ICP), Amritsar. The contraband was being smuggled from Pakistan via the trade route. Kashmiri salt trader Tarik Ahmad Lone was arrested and Amritsar-based importer, Gurpinder Singh was detained by the Customs in the case. Pakistan exporter, Global Vision Impex, Wagah, Lahore had sent the consignment into India for Kanishk Enterprise ASR owned by Gurpinder. The consignment crossed into India via trucks on June 26 and was unloaded into an open space meant for storage. Interestingly, the large consignment went through truck scanners installed by Pakistan customs on their side of the border. There are no truck scanners installed on the Indian side. “There must be some lapse somewhere on the part of Pakistan. There are scanners on their side. It should have been detected. We cannot comment right now,” said Dipak Kumar Gupta, Commissioner, Customs, Amritsar. According to the statement, After the bust, searches were conducted at various places in Amritsar. “The mastermind of this smuggling racket based in Handwara (J&K) has been apprehended with the help of J&K Police. Further investigation is under progress,” the press note said. Dipak Kumar Gupta, Commissioner, Customs, Amritsar, added: “Salt is not a commodity affected much by weather. So often it is unloaded into open space. These salt bags along with heroin bags were unloaded on June 26 and remained under open sky till June 29.”

The Border Security Force (BSF) team deployed along the border near the Sutlej river had successfully seized eight kilograms of heroin and 55 grams of opium on late September 10 evening, reports DNA. The price of this heroin is being pegged at around Rs 40 crore. Since the rise of water level in the Sutlej river in Punjab's Ferozepur, smugglers from Pakistan have been continuously sending narcotics by turning the rough flow of the river into their advantage. Meanwhile, the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) Amritsar Sub-Zone said that it had busted an international network of drug trafficking operating in Delhi, Punjab and Mumbai with linkages in Australia and Canada, reports The Times of India. S K Jha, Deputy Director General, Northern Region, NCB, in a release issued here on September 10 informed that NCB received intelligence input that a shipment containing drugs was arriving New Delhi from Canada which contained high quality South American cocaine for high end drug users in Punjab. The consignee’s address was of Jalandhar, he added. “We immediately swung into action and checked the consignment and seized 422 gram of high quality Cocaine,” he said. Following investigations, it was revealed that Yogesh Kumar Dhuna, a resident of Jalandhar, was to receive the consignment on behalf of big traffickers in the syndicate active in Punjab. During investigation, the alleged accused revealed names of others who had approached him to receive the consignment. Also, with the BSF and Police increasing vigil along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, the National Capital has become the transit route of choice for smuggling of heroin into Punjab instead of sneaking the contraband through the barbed fence, reports Hindustan Times on September 12. The Punjab Police’s anti-drug Special Task Force (STF) claimed this after an analysis of recent drug seizures. STF (border range) inspector general (IG) RK Jaiswal said that “We analysed 10 cases of seizures of heroin in the state and found that the contraband was smuggled via Delhi in eight of them.”
