EARLY TIMES REPORT

JAMMU, June 29: A fake sadhu and his Kashmir-based associate were

today apprehended by police at Shalamar crossing here along with

one kilogram of charas.
Acting on a tip-off that a smuggler from Kashmir was to deliver a

charas consignment to a fake sadhu on Shalamar road, city police

station cops fanned out in the area in civvies.
Police sources said when the cops spotted a man delivering a bag to

a sadhu, they caught hold of both of them and found one kilogram

charas in the bag.
They were then arrested and whisked away to the police station.

They were identified as Rakesh Giri of Udhampur and Mohammad Ashraf

of Bijbihara.
Ashraf had taken a room on rent at Narwal. Sources said the room's

search later led cops to the recovery of half kilogram charas.
A total of 1.5 kg charas was recovered from them, the sources

added.
Though Giri looked like a sadhu he was a really fake. Sources said

he used to sell charas in Shalamar area in the guise of a sadhu.
It was suspected that their network extended to Katra and Udhampur

areas. Police had registered a case against them.
