In a significant crackdown, the Special Detection Team of Bilaspur Police seized 55.6 grams of heroin (locally known as chitta) near Tunnel No. 2 in the Swarghat police station area on Tuesday. A youth from Punjab was arrested on the spot, who is believed to be a key figure in the drug trafficking network operating across Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

The operation was executed near Tunnel No. 2, where the team apprehended the suspect red-handed.

DSP Madan Dhiman confirmed the arrest and stated that a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at the Swarghat Police Station.
