Chandigarh, Oct 1 (PTI) The Punjab Police on Wednesday said they have busted a supply-chain of psychotropic drugs with seizure of over 1 lakh Tramadol tablets and the arrest of one person in Amritsar.
Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said police recovered 1,08,000 Tramadol tablets from Jobanjit Singh alias Joban who was travelling in a car.
In a post on X, the DGP said a Glock pistol with five live cartridges has also been recovered from the accused.
An FIR has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and Beas police station, he added.
