In a significant development in the fight against drug trafficking, police have detained a well-known drug peddler under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district.

The accused, identified as Mehraj Din from Masjid Mohalla in Bhaderwah, was apprehended due to his ongoing involvement in narcotics offenses. Authorities have confirmed that Din has faced six previous cases in connection with drug peddling.

A detailed dossier outlining his criminal activities enabled the Jammu divisional commissioner to issue a detention order. Din is now held in Udhampur district jail, as police vow to continue their stringent measures against drug trafficking.
