Jammu and Kashmir’s fight against drugs intensified with Banihal police in Ramban nabbing Tauheed Ahmad Khan from Srinagar during a standard naka check at Railway Chowk. The 4.54 grams of heroin-like substance found in his possession marks another victory in ongoing anti-narcotics drives.
Khan, residing in Hamdania Colony, Bemina, was detained on suspicion, leading to the recovery of the drugs wrapped in polythene. Banihal station has invoked NDPS provisions, launching probes into the supply chain to uproot the racket entirely.
Police reiterated their pledge for a narcotic-free Jammu and Kashmir, urging citizens to report suspicious activities. This comes amid heightened vigilance to shield youth from addiction.
Shifting focus to Punjab, Amritsar’s counter-intelligence achieved a major breakthrough Thursday, intercepting a vehicle on the highway and confiscating 6kg heroin from a trafficker. The bust exposed links to Dubai handler Interpreet Singh, a fugitive in several cases from Sultanwind.
The network’s global reach and role in Punjab’s drug influx are under scanner. Questioning the accused is yielding clues on accomplices and routes. With NDPS FIR registered, officials predict swift action against the syndicate, whose consignment could fetch crores abroad.
Such operations reflect escalating law enforcement resolve, blending local patrols with intelligence-led strikes to curb smuggling.
