In a significant breakthrough, Punjab Police has arrested Bhuvnesh Chopra, a fugitive involved in a triple murder case and narcotics trafficking, with the aid of central agencies.

A Red Corner Notice facilitated his deportation from a Central Asian country, leading to his arrest at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport.

This move is expected to disrupt the drug supply chain from Pakistan to Punjab, a key step in Punjab Police's campaign against organised crime originating from abroad.
