FAZILKA: In a joint operation, CIA staff of Fazilka and BSF conducted a joint operation and recovered 1.5 kg heroin from a young man’s bag. The arrested accused is a resident of Ferozepur, against whom a case has been registered and action has been initiated.
According to reports, in a joint operation with the BSF, the Fazilka police arrested a youth near Ladhuka on the Fazilk- Ferozepur highway. On checking, one and a half kg heroin was recovered from his bag. The accused has been identified as Angrez Singh, a resident of village Ali Ke in Ferozepur. The police registered a case against the accused, who has been taken on remand after being produced in the court. The accused had brought a consignment of heroin from Ferozepur to deliver the same in Fazilka area.
Meanwhile, the Fazilka police faced an embarrassing situation during a seminar against drugs conducted in Fazilka, when a woman exposed the drug problems in the area. According to the information, a seminar against drugs was organized by Fazilka Police in Jatian Mohalla of Fazilka, in which DSP (D) Rakesh Kumar was the chief guest. However, during this time a woman who does sewing work in the neighborhood reached the seminar who, while exposing the drug peddlers and police nexus claimed that drugs are freely available in her area and there is no one to stop them.
On this, DSP Rakesh Kumar said that police is working with full vigilance, claiming that this is the reason why people are being made aware by organising such seminars so that they can give information without fear as their name will be kept secret and they should cooperate with police so that such people can be caught. Further reacting to woman’s allegations, he assured that police will look into her claim and proper police action will be initiated against the drug peddlers.
