REASI, July 29: In an unwavering commitment to combat drug abuse and the illicit liquor trade, the Reasi District Police has intensified its efforts, resulting in successful raids and arrests. Under the leadership of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sh. Amit Gupta-JKPS, the police force leaves no stone unturned to protect the community from the perils of substance abuse.
Acting on credible intelligence, a police party from Pouni Police Station conducted a targeted raid in the adjoining areas of Village Kheralaid. The operation, led by SHO Pouni Insp.

During the operation, the police confiscated a substantial amount of 10 litres of Desi Illicit liquor from Mangi Singh's possession.

The suspects, upon being apprehended, were identified as Mehnga Singh, son of Kulwant Singh, from Gali Dhotian Wali, Tarn Taran, Amritsar, and Namsroop Singh, son of Jarnail Singh, from Warpal, Amritsar. The police conducted a search and discovered 9.50 grams of a substance resembling Heroin in Mehnga Singh's possession and 09 grams of a substance similar to Opium in Namsroop Singh's possession.
