Chandigarh, Nov 3 Punjab Police has busted three illegal arms and drug supply networks with the arrest of 11 individuals and recovery of 12 pistols and two hand grenades in Amritsar, an official said on Tuesday.
The Amritsar Police Commissionerate also recovered 310.10 gm of heroin and 33 live cartridges from them.
