The Tarn Taran police foiled another narcotics smuggling attempt and recovered 2 kgs of heroin. Two smugglers were arrested after a 40-kilometer chase near the Indo-Pak border.

After an encounter with the police, one of the smugglers was injured, according to Tarn Taran Police.

An FIR under the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act has been registered at Police Station Chola Sahib.

Investigations are underway to establish backward and forward links between the smugglers, according to Tarn Taran Police.
