The spokesman said that nakas were laid on all the link roads connecting Railway Station as well as on the National Highway.
"While searching one of the rooms in 'hotel Chinar', an unattended bag was found lying inside the room which, on asking, the hotel owner told to be of the person who had booked one room short while ago. On search of the said bag, 30 packets of apparently equal size and quantity were found lying inside it. Each packet was very carefully packed with a seal impression depicting 'eagle' on it and 'Kudrat Karvaan' written in Urdu language followed by a specific number. Immediately, Magistrate and FSL team were summoned to the spot," he said.
The recovery was seized and measured following all legal formalities, which was found to be 30 Kilograms in weight (each packet of one KG weight) and on testing by the FSL team, it was found positive, i.e the banned drug heroine, said the spokesman.
Samples were taken out and sent for advanced chemical analysis. In this regard, case FIR No. 56/2019 stands registered at Police Station Banihal under sections 8/21/22 of NDPS Act.

Further investigation is in progress and strenuous efforts are being made to nab the accused and find out the source of the psychotropic substance
