*Police books six infamous drug peddlers under the PIT NDPS Act in Srinagar* *Lodged in various Districts Jails of UT*

Continuing the crackdown against drug trafficking, Police in Srinagar has booked six infamous drug peddlers under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (PIT-NDPS Act).

The notorious drug peddlers namely Imtiyaz Ahmad Sheikh son of Mohammad Rafiq Sheikh resident of Beigh Mohalla Allochibagh A/p Sharja Bemina, Abid Rasool Dar son of Ghulam Rasool Dar resident of Check Kalan Kanihama B.K.Pora,
Raza Rauf Mirjan son of Rouf Ahmad Mirjan resident of Gulshan Abad Hyderpora, Azan Parviaz Glitsaaz son of Parviaz Ahmad Glitsaaz resident of Kani Mohalla Rainawari,
Javaid Ahmad Wani son of Ali Mohammad Wani resident of Sonwar A/p Gasoo and Danish Ahmad Bhat son of Abdul Ahad Bhat resident of Panzinara have been booked under PIT-NDPS Act after obtaining the formal detention orders from Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir on the basis of dossiers prepared by Srinagar police against them.

Consequently, these drug peddlers were detained and subsequently lodged in District Jails of Udhampur, Poonch and Rajouri.

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 did 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.

J&K Police affirms its steadfast commitment of eliminating drug peddling in the region with the full might of law. We also caution those engaged in this unlawful activity that the long arm of law would catch them sooner than anticipated and every offender will face justice.
