Punjab leader Sunil Jakhar calls for NIA, ED probe into state drug network

Sunil Jakhar, a senior figure in the Punjab Congress, publicly demanded that the National Investigation Agency and the Enforcement Directorate intervene in a drug trafficking case that he says is affecting the state. He alleged that the network is involved in the illicit supply of narcotics, posing a threat to public safety and the youth. Jakhar urged the central agencies to conduct a thorough, time‑bound inquiry and to bring the perpetrators to justice. The call comes amid growing concerns over rising drug consumption in Punjab, prompting state officials to seek cooperation from the Union government. No official response from the NIA or ED has been recorded at the time of this report.
