Amritsar: The Anti-Gangster Task Force, in a joint operation with Bathinda Police, apprehended Jaspreet Singh, the kingpin of the Jassa Burj Gang, along with three associates on Saturday. They are implicated in various serious crimes, including arms smuggling, snatching, and kidnapping, according to Punjab police. During the operation, authorities recovered four pistols (32 bore), magazines, and eleven cartridges. Jaspreet Singh, known as Jassa, has an extensive criminal history, with eleven FIRs related to heinous crimes already filed against him.
In a separate operation on Friday, a joint search by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Punjab Police resulted in the recovery of a packet containing suspected heroin weighing 550 grams in a farming field adjacent to village Daoke in Amritsar district. This operation was launched based on specific intelligence from the BSF intelligence wing regarding the presence of heroin, which was executed on October 3. The narcotics packet was secured with yellow adhesive tape and blue tape, and contained a steel ring and a mini torch.
Additionally, SAS Nagar Police dismantled an international drug syndicate, arresting Sukhdeep Singh and Krishan. This raid yielded 1.5 kg of heroin and revealed connections to Afghan handlers based in Delhi linked to international drug cartels. Notably, Sukhdeep Singh was previously involved in a kidnapping case in 2020 and had been out on bail since May 2024.
The Punjab police emphasized that these operations significantly disrupted global narcotic supply chains, marking a considerable setback for international drug cartels and underscoring their commitment to a drug-free state. Meanwhile, the BSF remains dedicated to curbing narcotics influx from across the border and is continuously enhancing its surveillance and operational capabilities to dismantle drug trafficking networks in the region.
