Srinagar Police Launches Major Crackdown on Notorious Drug Peddlers

Srinagar Police has intensified its efforts against drug trafficking by booking six notorious drug peddlers under the PIT-NDPS Act. These individuals, involved in distributing narcotics among Srinagar's youth, have been detained and lodged in district jails. The police reaffirm their commitment to eradicating drug peddling in the region.

The Srinagar Police has stepped up its campaign against drug trafficking, booking six well-known drug peddlers under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (PIT-NDPS Act). This significant move was shared on X, where the police named the culprits: Imtiyaz Ahmad Sheikh, Abid Rasool Dar, Raza Rauf Mirjan, Azan Parviaz Glitsaaz, Javaid Ahmad Wani, and Danish Ahmad Bhat. Formal detention orders were secured from the Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir, based on comprehensive dossiers prepared by the police.

Following these developments, the accused were detained and are now held in the district jails of Udhampur, Poonch, and Rajouri. These individuals were notorious for their involvement in narcotics distribution among Srinagar's youth, operating at an alarming scale. The police revealed that despite numerous NDPS Act cases and previous bail releases, these peddlers continued to promote illegal drugs in the valley, notably through their vast narcotics network. Asset attachment proceedings under the PIT-NDPS Act have also been initiated against them.

Emphasizing its ongoing commitment, the Jammu and Kashmir Police reiterated their resolve to combat drug peddling with the full force of the law. They issued a stern warning to others involved in similar illegal activities. Citizens have been urged to report any information regarding drug dealers through the official helpline, 9596770550, as collective efforts aim to foster a safer and healthier society.
