In a major crackdown against drug trafficking, police in Jammu and Udhampur have arrested nine individuals and seized drugs alongside Rs 20 lakh in cash. The Monday operation targeted several hotspots, resulting in significant arrests and confiscations.
A joint operation led to the arrest of a man and his son-in-law in Bishnah, where authorities uncovered 283 grams of heroin and a large cash sum from their vehicle. Identified as Sadiq Ali and Saif Ali, the duo's links are under investigation.
Furthermore, a high-profile offender, Pankaj Sharma, was detained under the stringent PIT-NDPS Act in Kathua, promising a deterrent effect on local illicit activities. Additional arrests and drug seizures across the region mark a determined effort to disrupt the drug supply chain.
