Police in Jammu and Kashmir have booked a man who was discovered in an intoxicated condition in Dogripora. Medical tests later showed that he had THC in his body.

Authorities said the man was located during a patrol near the Jhelum embankment in Dogripora. The patrol team from Police Post Reshipora, headed by SI Mehrajuddin, took him to PHC Panjgam for examination.

The urine drug screening report was positive for THC, a psychoactive compound present in cannabis. Based on the findings, the police have moved forward with legal proceedings.

The man has been identified as Imtiaz Ahmad Dar, from Syed Rahmania Astan, Lam, Nishat. An FIR has been lodged at Police Station Avantipora under the relevant sections of the NDPS Act, and investigators have started their inquiry.

The Avantipora Police reaffirmed their resolve to stop the misuse of drugs. They urged the public to assist the force in its efforts to root out the drug problem from society.

In another development from Punjab, the Narcotics Control Bureau's Chandigarh Zonal Unit achieved the conviction of three drug traffickers on Monday. The trio had been caught smuggling 3.65 kg of charas concealed in a car's speaker system.

A special court in Rupnagar awarded each of the three accused 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh on every convict. The convicts are Kuldeep Singh alias Golu, Sanjeev Kumar alias Mithu, and Ashok Kumar.
