Arrest of Two Individuals in Mohali Following Tip-Off on Drug Helpline for Possession of 20g Heroin
Hear the scoop on this quick blurb ## Two suspects nabbed and 20gm heroin seized in bust
In a recent operation, Mohali police detained two individuals—Rohit Kumar from Mubarikpur, Dera Bassi, and Ravinder Singh from Shakti Nagar, Dera Bassi—following a tip-off received on the anti-drug helpline. During the arrest, 20gm of heroin and two vehicles were confiscated.
According to the initial investigation, the duo attempted to elude authorities from Mubarikpur. A case under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has been filed against them at the Dera Bassi police station.
Launched by the Punjab government, the anti-drug helpline (9779100200) and WhatsApp chatbot offer citizens a valuable platform to report drug traffickers and provide medical help for recovering drug addicts seeking treatment. Caller identities are kept confidential to encourage information sharing. This initiative aims to combat drug trafficking at the grassroots level.
Worth Noting:Although records indicate that Rohit Kumar officially changed his name to Rohit Singh[3], there is no evidence of drug-related charges or arrests in these files for this individual. Ravinder Singh has been mentioned sparingly in separate occurrences: an incident involving a Congress leader's SUV accident[2] and general anti-drug enforcement operations[4]. However, these instances appear disconnected from the events in Dera Bassi. The proclaimed offenders list[1] includes names like Kuldeep, Suraj Verma, and Shanker, but no matches to our queried names were found.

The duo was detained under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotopic Substances (NDPS) Act, and 20gm of heroin was seized. Interestingly, Rohit Kumar's official name change to Rohit Singh does not show any drug-related charges or arrests. Ravinder Singh, however, has been mentioned in separate incidents, such as a Congress leader's SUV accident and general anti-drug enforcement operations, although these instances seem unrelated to the Dera Bassi case.
