The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has conducted raids at ten locations in Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan on the premises linked to the aides of gangster Goldy Brar and others in connection with the cross-border drug supply through drones from Pakistan territory.

This is one of the biggest crackdowns on the drug mafia who have links with Pakistan-based handlers and are thriving in India.

The NIA has already registered a case of UAPA in this connection. The agency had also conducted raids last month at the gangsters' premises.

Teams of NIA were present at Sirsa, Sonipat and Jhajjar in Haryana.
