The suspects, upon being apprehended, were identified as Mehnga Singh, son of Kulwant Singh, from Gali Dhotian Wali, Tarn Taran, Amritsar, and Namsroop Singh, son of Jarnail Singh, from Warpal, Amritsar. The police conducted a search and discovered 9.50 grams of a substance resembling Heroin in Mehnga Singh's possession and 09 grams of a substance similar to Opium in Namsroop Singh's possession.
