2 kg heroin, fake currency seized; 3 held

A dismissed BSF constable was arrested along with his two accomplices by Punjab Police and 2 kg heroin worth Rs 10 crore in the international market was recovered.
Police said fake Indian currency with a face value of Rs 2 lakh was also seized from accused who were nabbed from the outskirts of the city.
Besides Ranjit Singh, who was dismissed from BSF, the other accused are Ravel Singh and Jora Singh.
Ranjit Singh had earlier undergone three years imprisonment in a case of gold smuggling in 1994. Around four months back, he was released from jail after serving seven years imprisonment in a murder case.

Police claimed after coming out of jail, Ranjit came into contact of Pakistan-based smugglers and got into smuggling of drug and fake currency.
