Renowned Punjabi Singer Baaz Sran Arrested for Opium Trafficking

Punjabi singer Baaz Sran, wanted for opium trafficking, has been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau. Sran had evaded capture since 2016 while gaining social media fame. His arrest signifies a major breakthrough in NCB's fight against drug networks.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested Baaz Sran, a Punjabi singer, for his involvement in opium trafficking. Sran, apprehended by the NCB's Chandigarh Zonal Unit, had been a fugitive from justice, charged with seizing 36.150 kg of opium.

Sran, who had been declared a proclaimed offender in 2016, managed to evade arrest by frequently changing his identity and location. In a bid to capture him, the NCB had published his details and announced a reward in May 2025.

Despite his fugitive status, Sran became popular on social media, amassing over 360,000 followers on Instagram. His arrest marks a significant success in the NCB's ongoing battle against drug trafficking networks.
