According to the report, the Punjab Police traced the links of Jagdeep Singh alias Jagga alias Billa and Gurvinder Singh alias Pehalwan, who were arrested in a joint operation of the organised crime control unit (OCCU) and Mohali Police on February 13, to Pakistan. Investigations have so far revealed that Billa and Pehalwan, who were absconding since 2014, had received a large quantity of heroin and Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) from Pakistan through various routes. They were also wanted by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and Rajasthan Police in cases related to heroin smuggling from Pakistan. Initial investigation revealed that they had received drug money from Pakistani dealers through hawala (illegal money transaction). Jagga was involved in cross-border smuggling of heroin since 2008. He came in contact with Gurvinder, and later connected with Abad Ali alias Baadi of Pakistan. According to a Police Official, Jagga came in contact with Malik, a resident of Narwad village of Pakistan, in 2015, and had been receiving huge consignments of drugs since. He got most of his drug consignments from Pakistan. The investigations into the racket have so far led to arrest of around 24 accused.
