In a significant anti-drug operation in Jammu and Kashmir, police apprehended three suspected drug peddlers, including a 17-year-old boy, on Monday.<\/strong> The authorities took action in the Samba and Kathua districts amid rising concerns over drug trafficking in the region.<\/p>\n

The police spokesperson reported that the teenager was stopped late Sunday evening while riding a motorcycle from Balole Khad towards JDA Colony in Bari Brahmana, Samba district.<\/p>\n

During the checks, law enforcement retrieved 3.36 grams of heroin<\/strong> from him. The young suspect faces serious allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.<\/p>\n

The police have already registered a case against the minor. Following an initial inquiry, authorities presented him before a competent authority, which subsequently ordered his placement in the Observation Home at R S Pura, Jammu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a separate incident in Kathua district, police arrested two additional narcotic smugglers on the same night. The officers seized 23 grams of heroin<\/strong> from their possession during a checking operation in Galak, located in the Billawar area.<\/p>\n

The arrested individuals have been identified as Pawan Dev Singh from Majalta (Udhampur)<\/strong> and Naresh Singh from Makwal-Ramkot (Kathua)<\/strong>. They now face legal actions under the NDPS Act as well.<\/p>\n

Authorities continue to ramp up efforts against drug trafficking as Jammu and Kashmir faces a serious challenge with substance abuse and illicit drug trade.<\/p>\n

Statistics from the Jammu and Kashmir police indicate a concerning rise in drug-related arrests, prompting officials to call for more community engagement in reporting suspicious activities. Police urge the public to remain vigilant as they combat this growing crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
