In a relentless mission to rid our society of the blight of drugs, law enforcement in Kulgam has dealt a decisive blow against drug peddling. Three suspects have been apprehended, and a substantial amount of illicit substances seized from their possession.
Under the proactive leadership of the diligent SHO of Qazigund Police Station, a strategic interception near a Walnut factory on NHW led to the discovery of Avinash Gupta and Yashpal Kumar, residents of Gaddi Udhampur, in possession of 6.5 kilograms of Poppy Straw-like contraband substance. Both have been promptly arrested and are in custody, with the vehicle used in the crime confiscated.
In a separate incident, Mohd Yousuf Sar of Berigam attempted to evade police attention but was tactfully captured. Authorities seized 80 grams of charas-like contraband substance from his possession. Mohd Yousuf Sar is currently in police custody.
