Sangrur, July 13 -- Busting a drug supply racket, the Sangrur police arrested three individuals and seized 1.625-kg heroin, along with five pistols, senior superintendent of police Sartaj Singh Chahal said on Saturday. Among the seized items are four .32-bore pistols, a .12-bore country-made pistol, 13 cartridges and 12 mobile phones.
The SSP said the investigation began on April 9 when a case was registered against Nigam, alias Lucky (24), Gurpreet Singh, alias Bhairon (28), and three others following the recovery of 125-gm heroin, a .32-bore pistol, seven cartridges and four mobile phones.
Nigam, who was already incarcerated in Sangrur jail, was arrested after being brought on a production warrant. SSP Chahal said Nigam's interrogation resulted in the arrest of Jaspal Singh, alias Billa (23), a Sangrur resident, on July 8. Two .32-bore pistols were recovered from his possession. Jaspal's interrogation resulted in the arrest of Satnam Singh, alias Satta (23), who was also brought on a production warrant from the Sangrur jail.
