He was flanked by DySP Arun Jamwal, Inspector Sunil Singh Jasrotia and other officers..
On this information, the ANTF team immediately swung into action and laid nakas. The truck was intercepted and during its search, ANTF team recovered huge quantity of Psychotropic Substances (6700 bottles of Welcyrex/Wincirx Codeine Phosphate and 18000 capsules of Spasmo Proxyvon Plus) concealed under the blanket rolls and arrested three persons including Amit Saxena S/o Mukesh saxena R/o East Arjun Nagar Delhi, Surjeet Kumar S/o Madan Lal R/o village Jadla Nawasher Punjab and Rohit S/o Paramjeet R/o village Jadla, Nawasher in Punjab.
