Pertinent to mention here that these drug peddlers have been involved in the peddling of narcotics among the youth of Srinagar on an alarming scale. Besides, they were also involved in several NDPS Act cases of various police stations of Srinagar. Despite several NDPS Act cases registered against them, they didn’t not mend their ways after getting bailed out from courts and were brazenly promoting drugs among the youth of the valley, especially in Srinagar, through their illegal narcotics network. Police has also set into motion the process to attach their properties under the provisions of PIT-NDPS Act.

Consequently, these drug peddlers were detained and subsequently lodged in Central Jail Kot-Balwal, Jammu and District Jails of Bhaderwah, Udhampur and Kathua.

To tackle the drug trafficking, Police is attaching the properties of the smugglers. As drug smuggling have started to deep its roots in society, tackling the drugs menace is much important for the well being of society.
