Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 15: Today, SSP Jammu Shri Joginder Singh adressed a Press briefing on the arrest of wanted criminal Lau Gujjar and associates. He thanked the efforts of the Special Investigative Team (SIT) headed by SP Hqrs. Anna Sinha, IPS comprising Miran Sahib and Bishnah police which worked to uncover the ling-standing nexus.
SSP Jammu Shri Joginder Singh informed the media persons that Gulzar Ahmed @ Lau Gujjar was a kingpin Gangster and Drug Lord wanted in 27 FIRs in Jammu alone and around 100 FIRs across the country under various aliases. He ran an interstate drug nexus across J&K, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. The drugs were apparently sourced through drone droppings via his contacts in Pakistan.
The kingpin gangster, wanted for Murder, extortion and narcotic crimes, was apprehended by Miran Sahib police on 4th April, 2026 post which the SIT was formed to uncover the entire nexus. So far several arrests have been made, raids conducted in the houses of associates and around 20 people have been called for questioning. Further investigation is on in the matter.
Highlighting the broader approach under the "100 Days Sankalp" initiative, flagged by Hon'ble Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, SSP Jammu stated that alongside strict enforcement, efforts are being made to rehabilitate drug addicts by sending them to de-addiction and rehabilitation centres. He urged the public to cooperate with police and act as a "360-degree eye" against crime and drug-related activities by sharing timely information. He assured that strict action will continue against all those involved in illegal activities, reaffirming the commitment of Jammu Police to ensure a safe, secure, and drug-free society.
