India Stops Illegal Weapons and Drugs

Introduction

Police and courts in India stopped people from bringing guns and drugs from Pakistan.

Main Body

A court in Jamnagar finished a very old case from 1993. Twelve people went to prison for five to seven years. They tried to bring guns and bombs into India by sea. In Punjab, police caught four people in Amritsar. These people had seven pistols. Pakistan sent the guns using small flying robots called drones. Police also caught three people in Tarn Taran. They found 12 kilograms of heroin. A person from another country used a drone to send the drugs.

Conclusion

India is finishing old court cases and stopping new drones from bringing bad things.

πŸ›‘ Stopping Action

Look at these words from the text:

  • Stopped (Police stopped people)
  • Finished (A court finished a case)
  • Caught (Police caught four people)

The Pattern: These are all 'Past' actions. In English, we often add -ed to the end of a word to show it happened yesterday or years ago.

Simple Map: Stop β†’\rightarrow Stopped Finish β†’\rightarrow Finished

The 'Special' Word:

  • Catch β†’\rightarrow Caught (Some words are rebels! They change their whole shape instead of adding -ed).

πŸ“¦ Counting Things

In the story, we see numbers combined with objects. This is how you describe how many of something there are:

Number + Object β†’\rightarrow Meaning

12 + kilograms β†’\rightarrow A lot of weight 7 + pistols β†’\rightarrow Several guns 4 + people β†’\rightarrow A small group
