On 31.03.2017, a team of NCB, Amritsar, intercepted a Toyota Innova bearing registration No. PB-11-BF-3941 near village Kamaska, Kamaska-Vanike Road, District Amritsar. During the search of the vehicle, 2 kg of heroin was recovered from underneath the middle seat of the vehicle leading to arrest of the two convicts.
Upon completion of trial, the Hon’ble Special Court, Amritsar, vide judgment dated 29.09.2026, held that the prosecution had successfully proved the recovery of 2 kg heroin from the possession of a Omkar Singh @ Onkar Singh and Gurdev Singh ( the owner of the vehicle) and their involvement in the offence.

Accordingly, two accused were sentenced to 12 years of Rigorous Imprisonment and a fine of ₹1 lakh each. The court has also ordered confiscation of the vehicle.
