Shocker for Punjab Police: Anti-Drone Unit Constable Arrested with 15 kg Heroin Near International Border

In a development that has brought major embarrassment to the Punjab Police, a constable deployed on an anti-drone system designed to curb cross-border drug smuggling has himself been arrested for alleged drug trafficking. Constable Karam Singh (Badge No. 729) was apprehended late last night in a joint operation by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and the Border Security Force (BSF). A resident of Bhuse village in Tarn Taran district, Constable Karam Singh was posted with the Tarn Taran police and stationed at an anti-drone system vehicle operating under the "Baaj Akh" initiative near the international border in the Khalra police station area. Ironically, the very personnel entrusted with detecting and preventing cross-border narcotics smuggling was caught red-handed. Reports indicate that he was intercepted last night while returning to his village after finishing his shift. Authorities recovered 15 kilograms of heroin from his possession during the operation. According to sources, the accused constable is also suspected of substance abuse, and investigators are currently probing how he managed to procure such a massive consignment of contraband. The anti-drone systems are specifically deployed along the border to detect and counter narcotics smuggled via drones from Pakistan. Confirming the development, Tarn Taran DSP Sukhbir Singh stated that the case was busted by the Narcotics Control Bureau earlier this morning, and the formal legal proceedings are currently underway.
