Shimla (Kameshwar Sharma): The Shimla Drug Smuggling Network Busted Police Action marks a major breakthrough as Shimla Police successfully exposed a large inter-state chitta supply chain operating across Punjab and Haryana. In a coordinated crackdown, police arrested three key drug suppliers and dismantled a well-organized narcotics network.
The operation comes under Shimla Police’s intensified anti-drug campaign, which continues to target both local peddlers and major supply chain operators.
First Case: Sanjauli Drug Link Exposed
At the outset, the Shimla Drug Smuggling Network Busted Police Action began with Case No. 34/2026 registered at Sanjauli Police Station. On May 18, police arrested Ravi Kumar alias Bunty and recovered nearly 26 grams of chitta (heroin).
Moreover, during investigation, police analyzed digital records, financial transactions, and backward linkages. They discovered that the accused used QR code payments at his shop to collect money from customers. However, customers had no idea that their payments supported drug purchases.
As a result, police traced the money flow to Punjab’s Tarn Taran district, which led to a major breakthrough.
Subsequently, on May 22, police arrested Shavandeep from Jandiala Guru in Amritsar. He operated as the main supplier in this chain.
Second Case: Baluganj Investigation Reveals Big Network
Meanwhile, in another case registered at Baluganj Police Station (Case No. 91/2026), police recovered 14 grams of chitta from accused Jai Singhla of Solan on May 18.
After that, police took him into custody and conducted detailed interrogation. Furthermore, digital evidence and bank records revealed a wider network involving Punjab and Haryana operators.
Police identified Amrit Pal from Moga as the main supplier, while Kuldeep Singh from Naraingarh, Haryana handled logistics and payments.
In addition, investigators found that the accused connected through Instagram and carried out transactions worth lakhs of rupees.
Consequently, on May 25, police arrested both Amrit Pal and Kuldeep Singh from Moga and Pinjore areas.
Strong Inter-State Drug Supply Chain Exposed
Moreover, the Shimla Drug Smuggling Network Busted Police Action revealed a highly organized inter-state narcotics system. The network operated across Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh using digital payment methods and social media platforms.
In addition, police confirmed that suppliers managed both drug delivery and money transfers through separate handlers to avoid detection.
Massive Crackdown by Shimla Police
Furthermore, Shimla Police shared strong enforcement statistics for 2026. So far, they have registered 134 NDPS cases and arrested 286 accused persons.
