According to a press release, the investigation revealed a well-organised and multi-layered narco-terror funding network operating between Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, involving Punjab-based handlers including Satnam Singh and Manjit Singh alias Maan, and Kupwara, Kashmir (near LoC) based operatives including Safeer Ahmed and Kateel Ahmed. As per the release, the consignment was delivered in Srinagar to Punjab-based carriers Sarabjeet Singh and Honey Baara, who were later intercepted at Banthal in September 2023 with 30 packets weighing about 31 kg of heroin. The searches conducted by ED, particularly in border/LoC-adjoining areas, against the narco-terror funding network, are significant as they target the source-side logistics and local facilitators linked with the cross-border narcotics supply chain. During the searches, several incriminating documents and bank account records were recovered and seized under the provisions of the PMLA, 2002. Also, several bank accounts cumulatively having an amount of Rs 49.9 lakh approximately have been frozen.Further investigation is in progress.
