SHOPIAN, May 26: In a major stride towards eliminating drug trafficking and strengthening public safety, Shopian Police have booked three habitual drug peddlers under the provisions of the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT NDPS) Act 1988.
The accused persons are Hilal Ahmad Bhat son of Gh Mohd Bhat resident of Daramdora Keegam, Mohd Yousuf Bhat son of Ab Gani Bhat resident of Vishroo Payeen and Pervaiz Ahmad Thoker Son of Bashir Ahmad Thoker resident of Pudsoo Shopian.
The detention orders were issued by the Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, following a comprehensive dossier submitted by Shopian Police. The dossier detailed the sustained involvement of these individuals in illicit drug trafficking activities. The accused are repeat offenders and have been named in multiple FIRs related to narcotics. They have subsequently been lodged in Central Jail Kot Bhalwal, Jammu, District Jail Rajouri and District Jail Poonch respectively.
This preventive detention became necessary due to the grave threat posed by their activities to public health, peace and the wellbeing of vulnerable youth. The action underscores the zero-tolerance policy of J&K Police towards drug peddling and trafficking and reflects the firm resolve of Shopian Police to eradicate the drug menace from society.
Shopian Police continue to carry out sustained operations against drug traffickers and their networks across the district. Citizens are urged to cooperate with the police and share any information related to drug peddling or suspicious activities in their locality.
