Drug smuggling in luxury vehicles surfaces in Kaithal:Police say supplies come from MP and Rajasthan and chances of raising suspicion remain extremely low

Drug smugglers in Kaithal district are now using expensive and luxury cars instead of old or small vehicles to avoid police checking. Police say this is not an isolated case. Several incidents have been reported where smugglers were caught using high-end cars like XUVs and Volkswagens. Many of these vehicles were also bought with money earned from drug sales. Most criminals bring drugs from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and then supply them to Patiala district in Punjab. They usually travel through the Guhla–Cheeka area of Kaithal. In many cases, the arrested smugglers are also residents of Patiala. They enter Punjab through the Guhla route in Kaithal. They put people on the vehicles Police believe that smugglers use these vehicles so that the police do not suspect them upon seeing large vehicles. Criminals have this mindset that if they carry drugs in large and luxury vehicles, the chances of checking will be less. Additionally, smugglers put logos of police and other officials on their vehicles so that no one stops them.
