Senior Superintendent of Police Baramulla, Amod Nagpure Monday said that Pakistain based handlers under well hatched conspiracy are using smugglers to push drugs inside Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
to spread drug addiction among youth.
Addressing a presser in Baramulla, SSP Baramulla, as reported by news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said the Police have arrested four such drug suppliers along with contraband material and cash.
He said on a specific information regarding smuggling of narcotics in Kamalkote area of Uri in Baramulla, a Naka was established at Sultan Daki area and during checking, a vehicle was signaled to stop but it tried to flee and was tactfully stopped.
"Later, four people were arrested along with 1.17 Kgs of Brown Sugar and a cash of Rs.25.39 Lacs. They have been idetified as Naseer Ahmad Bhatti son of Nazar Din Bhatti, Mohd Pazeer son of Abdul Majeed Khanday, Reyaz Ahmad Khanday and Fayaz Ahmad Khanday son's of Mohammed Sharief Khanday--all residents of Uri."
The SSP, while terming the arrest of four smugglers a big catch, said they have got more leads and more such modules are expected to be busted soon.
He also said their network is so strong and they are making every possible efforts to stop drugs entering Jammu and Kashmir. "It's all due to the people's support and cooperation, such modules are being busted", he said.
"We have identified the hotspots and will be using technical as well as human intelligence for such operations in future", he said.
On being asked why drug peddlers are seen free after remaining in lockups, he said, that they get out on bail and police are using a method that whoever will get bail is booked under PSA so that he would remain in the preventive custody.
