Jammu, June 2: Within days after family members of notorious female drug peddler Jano Bibi made an abortive attempt to take her away from police custody without any fear, a group of cops was severely beaten by another gang of drug mafia in the Sarore Add area of Samba district.
On Thursday evening, a group of drug traffickers attacked a team of police that had gone to conduct patrolling in a narcotic hotspot in Vijaypur. Without any fear, drug traffickers resorted to attacking cops with shard-edged weapons and roads.
Six cops were injured, including one of them seriously, in the attack.
Two successive attacks on cops by the dreaded drug traffickers have exposed the helplessness of the policemen in dealing with this menace.
Shockingly, one of the cops was seriously injured in the attack by drug traffickers who have links at higher levels.
Highly placed sources said that the helpless cops have failed to create any fear among the notorious but influential drug lords who have political and bureaucratic connections.
“It was all due to higher level connections of the drug mafia that cops are hesitating to take effective action against them”, sources said.
