Jalalabad: In a determined crackdown on drug-related criminal activities, the Punjab Police has intensified its efforts, leading to swift action against narcotics traffickers. The latest target of this stringent operation is Raj Rani and Gurmeet Singh, residents of Dashmesh Nagar. Atul Soni, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Narcotics Cell Fazilka, revealed that a prompt and focused operation has been initiated against the couple involved in drug peddling.
Raj Rani and Gurmeet Singh, allegedly notorious for their involvement in the drug trade, are now facing significant legal repercussions. The police’s primary focus has been on curbing the menace of drug money, which often fuels criminal enterprises. The couple’s residence was raided, leading to the confiscation of a substantial quantity of illegal substances.
During the raid, law enforcement discovered and seized a total of 550 grams of heroin. This substantial quantity points to the couple’s active involvement in the drug trade, contributing to the proliferation of narcotics in the region. Apart from the narcotics seized, the police also uncovered a stash of 4-marla property linked to the proceeds from drug transactions.
The police action didn’t stop at the physical assets; it extended to financial measures as well. Following a thorough investigation, the law enforcement authorities, in collaboration with legal experts, prepared a case against the drug-trafficking couple. This comprehensive approach led to the freezing of the couple’s bank accounts and the confiscation of INR 2,50,000 in cash.
In a significant move, the authorities also attached the couple’s property, ensuring that they cannot sell or lease it. This legal measure aims to prevent them from using their ill-gotten gains to invest in new properties or initiate construction activities. The meticulous approach of the Punjab Police underscores their commitment to dismantling the financial infrastructure supporting drug-related crimes.
Present during the operation was Assistant Sub-Inspector Jarnail Chand, providing support to ensure the smooth execution of the legal proceedings. The intensified crackdown on drug money and the swift action against those involved send a strong message about the zero-tolerance policy adopted by law enforcement agencies in Punjab against drug-related criminal activities.
