In one of the biggest anti-narcotics crackdowns this year, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police, in coordination with the Border Security Force (BSF) and Rajasthan Police, has busted an international drug trafficking syndicate operated by a Pakistan-based smuggler and a Canada-based handler. The Police have recovered 60.302 kilograms of heroin near the India-Pakistan international border in Barmer of Rajasthan.
