Two days after the seizure of 7 kg of heroin and three Chinese .30 bore calibre pistols from across the border from Dera Baba Nanak area in Gurdaspur by the BSF, the Amritsar rural police on Friday brought dismissed cop and notorious drug peddler Ranjit Singh of Modhe village on three-day production warrant.
Alarmed over the seizure, many intelligence and security agencies are also grilling Ranjit Singh. He was currently lodged in Ludhiana Central jail. Following the information provided by the rural police, Ludhiana Central jail authorities also confiscated a mobile phone from his possession from there.
The mobile phone was taken into custody which was being examined to establish his links with Belgium-based alleged Indian terrorist Jagdish Singh Bhura who had pushed the drugs and weapons into the Indian territory through his Pakistani links. Bhura has been a proclaimed offender in three terrorism-related cases in Punjab.
