A Case FIR No 3/2023 U/S 8/21/22 NDPS Act of Police Station ANTF has been registered against the habitual offender. There is nexus between narcotics drug peddlers and few distributors of Delhi, NCR and Solan who supply the formulated narcotics to the peddlers in Jammu and Kashmir and the suppliers and distributors supply the drugs to the addicted youth of the UT of JK and Punjab. The investigation is under progress to unearth the nexus between the suppliers and the distributors and owners of the bus if any to transport narcotics to different states. The arrest and the recovery were done by Inspector Varuneshwar Singh under guidance of Shri Shamsher Singh JKPS ANTF Jammu Zone under overall supervision of Shri Vinay Sharma, SSP ANTF J&K. This arrest has been hailed as a big sigh of relief for the sleuths as well as Youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
