Punjab police in Amritsar demolished the house of a woman accused of drug trafficking and have registered criminal cases against her two sons.
Amritsar police carried out a demolition operation on the residence of a woman identified as a drug smuggler, as part of a broader crackdown on narcotics in the city. The structure was razed after authorities obtained a court order, citing its alleged use as a hub for storing and distributing illegal substances.
Investigators also filed separate criminal cases against the woman's two sons, alleging their involvement in the same drug network. Both sons are now facing charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
The demolition underscores the state's intensified efforts to dismantle drug‑related operations following a surge in seizures across Punjab. Police officials said they will continue to monitor the case and pursue further legal action as evidence emerges.
Local residents were briefed on the operation, and the police assured that the demolition was carried out safely, with no injuries reported.
The incident adds to a series of recent enforcement actions aimed at curbing the flow of narcotics that have plagued the region for years.
