Punjab and Haryana HC Expresses Concern Over Rise in Drug Smuggling From Pakistan Using Drones

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has highlighted the rise in instances of drugs being smuggled across the India-Pakistan border via drones.

The observations were made while hearing an anticipatory bail plea filed by a man who was allegedly involved in smuggling heroin across the border using drones. The petitioner contended that he was being falsely implicated solely on the basis of a statement given by his co-accused.

The Court observed that these actions threaten national security and compromise the welfare of the nation's youth.
