Srinagar: Police in Sopore have booked a “notorious” drug peddler in Sopore under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act. The accused has been lodged in Udhampur Jail following the execution of the PIT-NDPS detention warrant.
Nazir Ahmad Shah, police said, was a habitual offender involved in multiple cases of drug peddling and was operating in and around Sopore, posing a serious threat to public health and order, especially targeting vulnerable youth. His continued involvement in the illicit drug trade despite repeated warnings and legal actions made it imperative to proceed under the stringent provisions of the PIT-NDPS Act.
