The accused were notorious drug smugglers with NDPS cases registered against them in Punjab and in Rajasthan with Narcotics Control Bureau chasing them for a case of commercial quantity drugs.
Kapur said initial investigation points out towards a highly organised cross border smuggling module with links to Pak backed ISI.
The racket used to smuggle drugs across Indo-Pak international border and the Punjabi singer Gora played role in hawala transactions that further enabled cross border smuggling.
Rohit Singh allegedly provided coordinates to Pakistani handlers on heroin delivery locations via Gurpreet Singh on Indo-Pak international border alongside Rajasthan and Punjab.
“Further investigations to find out other members of the drug trafficking racket are on and they will be arrested soon,” he added.

It is worth noting that smugglers drop heroin packed in boxes along locations sent by traffickers from Indian side and these are then picked up by other members for supply across India and even to other countries of the world.
