In a successful anti-drug operation, Dalhousie Police apprehended a suspect yesterday near the MES Pipeline road at Gandhi Chowk while conducting routine patrols.

Upon noticing the police vehicle, the individual exhibited signs of anxiety and attempted to escape. He was observed discarding an object from the right pocket of his black half-sleeve jacket towards a nearby cement wall before making a run for it. The police acted quickly, pursuing and capturing him within a distance of 20 to 25 steps.

The suspect has been identified as:

• Vikram, son of Sukhdev Singh, a 36-year-old resident of Nichi Mangli village, Post Ramgarh, Tehsil Saniyawalan, District Ludhiana, Punjab.

Upon inspection of the discarded item, authorities recovered a polythene packet containing 13.72 grams of heroin (chitta).

A case has been filed against Vikram under Section 21 of the NDPS Act at the Dalhousie Police Station. The investigation is ongoing to explore further connections related to this case.
