A Border Security Force Jawan has been arrested for allegedly helping smugglers in cross-border smuggling of drugs and ammunitions, Punjab police said here on Saturday.

The accused has been identified as Anil Kumar, a Jawan with 52 Battalion, posted in Rajasthan, a senior Punjab Police official said. “Anil Kumar, 29, has been arrested from Rai Singh Nagar in Sriganganagar in Rajasthan,” said Mohali SSP Gurpreet Singh Bhullar.
