Sumandeep Kaur, a pale, straight-backed woman of 24, was three months into her arranged marriage when she realized that her husband, from a prosperous farming family in Rajoke, had resumed using heroin.
?The small people, they get arrested.?Equally maddening, to many, is the fact that many in the governing party deny that drugs are a problem.
His wife, Sharanjit Kaur, said a stranger had offered him 20,000 rupees, or about $300, to pick up the parcels of heroin.
Virsa Singh Valtoha, a legislator in the Tarn Taran district, was more measured, saying Punjab had made progress in controlling the problem.
?People are very, very angry, if they come from a home where anyone is using drugs,? said Dharminder Singh, 22, who said he planned to vote for the Aam Aadmi Party.
