Anantnag, October 12 (Daily Kiran) : Jammu and Kashmir police reported on October 12 that they arrested six individuals involved in drug trafficking in Anantnag district over the past 24 hours. The arrests were made during separate operations aimed at combating drug-related activities.
According to a police statement, various alleged traffickers were apprehended across the district, with cannabis seized during the operations. Six First Information Reports (FIRs) have been filed, and investigations are ongoing.
During a checkpoint in Khah Bazaar, a police team from the Junglatmundi post detained Ashiq Hussain Dar, a resident of Chichiri Pora, and confiscated approximately 7 grams of cannabis from him.
In another operation, officers from the Northsoo police station arrested Arshad Ahmed Bhatt, who resides in Karad, Kanti Gund. They found about 10 grams of a substance resembling cannabis, leading to an FIR under Section 8/20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
Additionally, the Bijbehara police apprehended Mohammad Shafi Wani from Gund Mohalla, Uranhal, with around 15 grams of cannabis. In a separate incident, Amir Majid Lone from Jablipora was arrested near Dara Shikoh Park, possessing approximately 14 grams of a similar substance.
The Sangam police post also made two arrests, seizing 7.10 grams of cannabis from Mudassir Ahmed Dar, a resident of Poshbagh, Baramulla, and 6.05 grams from Imtiaz Ahmed Gojri of Kansi Pora, Baramulla. Two FIRs have been registered in these cases.
Authorities emphasized that the crackdown on drug trafficking will continue, as they gather more information about these incidents. The Jammu and Kashmir police and security forces are engaged in a vigorous campaign against smuggling and drug trafficking across the union territory. It is believed that drug trafficking primarily originates from across the border or the Line of Control, with proceeds potentially funding terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
On Sunday, police reported the arrest of ten drug traffickers in Anantnag under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, seizing cannabis, powder, and suspected heroin from them.
