“`Acting tough against drug peddlers and to eradicate the menace of drugs from the society, Police booked one lady notorious drug smuggler under PIT NDPS Act in Baramulla after obtaining formal detention order from competent authority.
The notorious drug smuggler namely Nargis Akhter wife of Showkat Ahmad Sheikh resident of Shahwalayat Colony Umerabad Srinagar has been booked under PIT-NDPS Act after obtaining formal detention orders from the competent Authority. The booked drug smuggler has been detained and subsequently lodged in Central Jail Kot-Balwal Jammu.
Pertinent to mention here that many cases are registered against the said drug smuggler and was involved in promoting drug abuse trade by supplying drugs to local youth of Pattan, Tangmarg Nowpora, Wagoora, Kreeri & other areas of District. Despite her involvement in many FIRs, she did not mend her activities and was again involved in promoting drug abuse trade by supplying drugs to local youth.
General public of Baramulla appreciated the role of Police for their action against drug peddlers. Police’ consistent actions against the drug peddlers should reassure the community members that police is making all efforts to keep our society free from drug abuse.“`
