On Tuesday, the CIA Staff of the Ludhiana police commissionerate detained two truck drivers with the possession of 2kg of opium. The accused, Davinder Singh alias Binda, 34, of Ferozepur’s Tallewala village, and his brother Gurbinder Singh, 38, had the opium hidden in their truck cabins. The two trucks used to smuggle opium have been seized by police.
Following a tip-off, police detained the suspects near Grain Market, Gill Road, according to Sub-inspector (SI) Yashpal Sharma, in-charge of CIA Staff-2. He went on to say that the defendants had built secret compartments in the cabins of their trucks to conceal the contraband.
