Srinagar: Police have booked four “notorious” drug peddlers under PIT NDPS Act in Sopore, a police spokesperson informed Saturday.
He said the four peddlers identified as Parvaiz Ahmad Khan, son of Abdul Rashid Khan, resident of Model Town C Sopore; Waseem Ahmad Hajam, son of Mohammad Akbar Hajam, resident of Dooru Peer Mohalla; Shahbaz Ahmad Dangroo, son of Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Dangroo of Machipora Bomai Sopore; and Sharafatullah Shah, son of Muzaffar Ahmad Shah of Shalpora Sopore, at present Shalimar Colony Sopore, have been booked under PIT-NDPS Act after obtaining formal detention orders from the competent authority.
The booked drug peddlers have been detained and subsequently lodged in Central Jail Kot-BHalwal Jammu, the spokesperson said.
He said that many cases are registered against these drug smugglers and that they were still involved in the “drug abuse trade” by supplying drugs to the local youth of Sopore and other areas of the district.
Despite their involvement in many FIRs, they did not mend their activities, police said.
