Jammu: A ‘hardcore criminal’ and two drug peddlers were arrested at separate places in Jammu and Udhampur districts on Tuesday, police said.
Yudhvir Singh alias Bablu, a resident of Agra Chak village, was arrested along with a sharp-edged weapon from the R S Pura area of Jammu, a police spokesman said.
“Singh is a hardcore criminal and named in multiple FIRs. His arrest is a major breakthrough in the drive against illegal activities,” the spokesman said.
He said two drug peddlers — Raahat Amaan and Saksham Thakur — were separately intercepted and arrested during checking in the Ramnagar area of Udhampur district.
Amaan was riding a two-wheeler, and his search led to the recovery of 6.21 grams of heroin, while 6.32 grams of heroin were recovered from Thakur.
Both the accused were booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, and further investigations are on, the spokesman said.
