The Ludhiana police and officials from the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) demolished the house of a jailed woman drug peddler in Malakpur village on Friday. According to police officials, the woman had constructed the house on a “fraudulently grabbed” chunk of land.

Additional deputy commissioner of police (city 3) Kanwalpreet Singh Chahal said, “Amarjeet Kaur had fraudulently grabbed the land of Paramjit Sharma, a resident of Haibowal. The woman had paid ₹50,000 in advance to Sharma in a deal of 4-kanal land.

Sharma has filed several complaints with the police and the GLADA in the context.
Further, the ADCP added that the illegally constructed house of the drug peddler was demolished. The woman is currently lodged in the jail.
