Kishtwar, July 28: In continuation of its decisive action against the menace of drugs, Kishtwar Police has intensified its operations under a comprehensive anti-narcotics strategy. In a major success, four drug peddlers — including one female— were apprehended in separate operations across the district, and over 20 grams of heroin-like substance was recovered from their possession.
SSP Kishtwar Sh. Naresh Singh–JKPS, while sharing the details, stated that acting on credible information, special nakas and patrolling teams were deployed at sensitive locations including Drabshalla, Bus Stand Kishtwar, and Shalimar. These operations were conducted under the supervision of Addl Sp Pardeep singh Goria-JKPS, DySP Headquarters Kishtwar Dr. Ishan Gupta–JKPS, with operational teams led by Insp. Firdous Ahmed (SHO PS Kishtwar), PSI Ankush Sharma (I/C PP Drabshalla), and PSI Rajveer singh (I/C PP Shalimar).
Today at Shalimar, a naka was established to check vehicles and pedestrians. A bus bearing registration number JK02BJ-0087 (Manpreet Travels), plying from Jammu to Kishtwar, was stopped. During checking two individuals onboard were found behaving suspiciously and were subjected to thorough checking.
The arrested individuals have been identified as:
• Rohit Singh S/o Late Pardeep Singh R/o Lachdayram, Poohie.

• Sakiya Banoo D/o Gulfam Zargar R/o Simna Colony, Zewar.
Recovery: Approximately 6–7 grams of heroin-like substance wrapped in white polythene.
Both the accused were arrested on the spot, and a case under relevant sections of the NDPS Act was registered at Police Station Kishtwar. Further investigation is in progress to trace the source of the narcotics and any possible network involved.
It is pertinent to mention here that during this week, two more drug peddlers were apprehended at different naka points:
• Rameez Raja @ Janda S/o Abdul Qayoom Sheikh R/o Sarkoot was intercepted at Bus Stand Kishtwar. Approximately 6.5 grams of heroin-like substance was recovered from his possession. A case under the NDPS Act was registered at Police Station Kishtwar.
• Arun Kumar S/o Ramkrishan R/o Bhagna, Padyarna was apprehended at Drabshalla. Approximately 3.5 grams of heroin-like substance was recovered from him. A case under the NDPS Act was also registered at Police Station Kishtwar.
SSP Kishtwar reiterated the district police’s firm commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against drug trafficking and abuse. He appealed to the general public to support the police in its fight against this social evil by sharing any information related to drug peddling or smuggling. Citizens can report such activities through the Kishtwar Police Helpline: 9906154100. The identity of informants will be kept strictly confidential.
Kishtwar Police remains resolute in its mission to protect the youth and ensure a drug-free society through sustained and effective enforcement action.
