#WATCH | Amritsar, Punjab: Border Range IG Gurpreet Singh Bhullar says, "An RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade), an anti-tank missile launcher of NATO 22 configuration, has been recovered. In addition, the recoveries include over 7 kg of heroin, approximately 2.5 kg of methamphetamine (ice), 5 kg of opium and two Glock pistols. I believe the recovery of the RPG during the festival season is an important preventive achievement. One accused, identified as Gurkirpal Singh, has been arrested. His second associate, who is a juvenile, has also been apprehended. In the drug-related case, an accused named Balkar Singh has emerged as a key figure during questioning. He has been involved in smuggling activities for a long time. His agricultural fields are located right along the Indo-Pakistan border. He allegedly recruited young boys, particularly juveniles, by luring them with money and repeatedly used them to collect drugs and other consignments. An important aspect of this recovery is that a GPS tracker device has also been recovered. Our interrogation and investigation indicate that such devices are used to track consignments, particularly across large agricultural fields, and identify their exact locations. This is also the first time we have recovered such a tracking device. We are investigating this aspect as well as analysing the drones that have been seized...Some names have emerged during the investigation, and we are working on those leads. Whether they are Pakistan-based smugglers or PIOs, we will definitely pursue these angles as the investigation progresses."
