Mother-son duo caught with 4 kg heroin in border village
In a unique case of its kind, Tarn Taran Police have arrested a woman and her son for being involved in drugs smuggling and recovered 4 kg heroin from them. Speaking to The Indian Express, SSP Tarn Taran, Abhimanyu Rana, said that the police received a tip off that a consignment of drugs had been received in village DhanoaKhurd on the Indo-Pak border. 'This village is right on the Indo-Pak border very close to border fencing. Acting on the tip-off we arrested the location and arrested Rupinder Kaur (aged 45) and her son Gaganpreet Singh (aged 21) and recovered 4 kg heroin from their house. We will be interrogating them to find out how long they were involved in drugs smuggling and who were their conduits,' said the SSP. DGP Gaurav Yadav said in a post on X that preliminary investigation reveals that Rupinder Kaur and her son, Gaganpreet Singh, are actively involved in drug smuggling and have direct links with Pakistan-based smugglers. Police said that while they have come across many instances of father and son being involved in drugs trade, this is the first time they have come across a mother and son duo. An FIR has been registered at police station Sarai Amanat Khan, TarnTaran and further investigation is underway to trace the forward and backward linkages of the network, the DGP said. The Indian Express had earlier reported that 407 women drug smugglers have been arrested in the ongoing 'Yudh Nashe Virudh' (war against drugs) ever since it was launched on March 1 by Punjab government. Data accessed by The Indian Express from Punjab Police regarding cases registered under the NDPS Act reveals that the maximum arrests of women drug smugglers during this special drive against drugs has taken place in Hoshiarpur (43) followed by Sangrur (33) and Jalandhar Rural (28) districts. The data shows that women drug smugglers have been arrested in each of the 23 districts of the state. Women drugs smugglers came into focus after the arrest of a woman constable Amandeep Kaur in Bathinda for possession of heroin and who was subsequently dismissed from service. Police said that with the men of the family behind bars due to previous cases of smuggling, it is often left to the women of the family to continue the trade. 'It has come to notice that the men give away the command of the drug trade to the women who are left behind while they themselves are in jail for selling drugs. Hence, there is a complete ecosystem of drugmerchandising within the family,' a senior police official said. Meanwhile, with the ongoing 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' has completed 60 days, police teams have arrested 7891 drug smugglers after registering 4931 FIRs under the NDPS act since March 1, 2025, and recovered 329 kgs heroin, 100 quintals poppy husk, 157 kg opium, 95 kg ganja, 21.89 lakh tablets/capsules/pills and Rs 8.09 crores drug money from their possession.
