New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed chargesheets against seven more individuals in the high-profile Attari narcotic haul case, involving over 100 kilograms of heroin valued at Rs 700 crore. The accused are identified as Athar Saeed, Amritpal Singh, Avtar Singh, Harwinder Singh, Tahseem, Deepak Khurana, and Ahmad Farid.
In April 2022, the Indian Customs Department seized a total of 102.784 kilograms of heroin, hidden in a consignment of licorice roots (Mulethi), at the Integrated Check Posts in Amritsar's Attari. The haul, valued at approximately Rs 700 crores, was intercepted in two separate instalments.
The NIA's chargesheet marks a significant development in the case, highlighting ongoing efforts to dismantle drug trafficking networks operating through India's border points. The agency continues to investigate and bring to justice those involved in this large-scale narcotic operation.
