In a big transfer, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken agency motion to freeze assets valued at Rs 1,34,12,000 on November 8. The funds are recognized as ‘illegally acquired property’ allegedly belonging to Amritpal Singh, a resident of Tarn Taran district in Punjab.
Â
The case is rooted within the restoration and seizure of 102.784 kg of heroin, valued at roughly Rs 700 crores, on April 24, 2022, and April 26, 2022, by Indian Customs. The contraband, originating from Afghanistan, entered India by way of the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari, Amritsar, on April 22, 2022. The illicit heroin was cleverly hid inside a cargo of Licorice roots (Mulethi).
Â
The decisive measures by the NIA are a part of ongoing efforts to fight illicit actions and dismantle networks concerned in drug trafficking.
