Bhagwant Mann’s bulldozer action against drug smugglers continues in Punjab. District Ludhiana Rural Police bulldozed the house of a drug smuggler couple in Narangwal, Halwara. District Ludhiana Rural Police Chief SSP Ankur Gupta himself was present on the spot.
On Wednesday, a video of a fight between Sarpanch Manjinder Singh Grewal and female smuggler Kulbir Kaur went viral in which the woman was openly selling drugs and threatening to kill her.
Late Thursday night, under the leadership of SSP Ankur Gupta, the police reached village Narangwal with a bulldozer and the house of smuggler couple Balwant Singh Kaka and Kulbir Kaur was demolished.
Sarpanch Manjinder Singh said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann himself called him and inquired about the incident and the government took action. SSP Ankur Gupta said that the police arrested a drug smuggler named Tanveer with a consignment of heroin on Thursday morning. After registering a case against Tanveer, he told during interrogation that he buys drugs from Narangwal’s drug smugglers Balwant Singh Kaka and Kulbir Kaur and sells them further. Balwant Singh and Kulbir Kaur were named in the case and their house was bulldozed. Many cases of drug smuggling have been registered against both of them earlier.
According to SSP Gupta, the house which was demolished was built with the money earned from drug smuggling. On Thursday morning, the Panchayat of Narangwal lodged a complaint against both of them in Jodhan police station and Sarpanch Manjinder Singh Grewal also sent a complaint to the Chief Minister. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann himself spoke to Sarpanch Manjinder Singh Grewal in the evening and a few hours later, the house of the smuggler couple was bulldozed.
