Jammu Police struck again in their relentless campaign against narco-terrorism, detaining a crucial suspect tied to an interstate drug-terror syndicate. This latest capture highlights the intricate web of crime that blends narcotics trade with militant funding in the sensitive border region.
Acting on precise intelligence, a special task force swooped down on a hideout in Jammu’s peripheral areas, nabbing the individual red-handed while packaging illicit substances. The haul comprised substantial quantities of narcotics valued at crores, along with arms and ammunition, pointing to the suspect’s dual role in smuggling and logistics for terror groups.
This operation builds on prior successes where the police unearthed a multi-crore racket sourcing drugs from international cartels via Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The network exploited porous borders and corrupt local elements to distribute heroin and synthetic drugs, generating funds for insurgent activities.
‘We are systematically dismantling this menace layer by layer,’ affirmed the Superintendent of Police, Jammu, emphasizing inter-agency coordination with the Narcotics Control Bureau. Forensic analysis of seized gadgets has already yielded vital leads on upstream suppliers and downstream distributors.
Local residents expressed relief, noting a dip in drug-related incidents following these interventions. Security experts believe this arrest could unravel broader conspiracies, prompting calls for enhanced border patrolling and community awareness programs. With the festive season approaching, police have vowed zero tolerance against such threats, promising more stringent measures ahead.
