Police books notorious Drug Peddler under PIT NDPS Act
Srinagar: Police in Sopore booked a notorious drug peddler identified as Nazir Ahmad Shah @Bedan son of Mohammad Yousaf Shah resident of Neharpora 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, a police spokesman said Wednesday.
Nazir Ahmad Shah 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.
This action reflects J&K Police’s zero-tolerance policy toward drug trafficking and its firm resolve to break the supply chain of narcotics. We are committed to identifying, tracking, and taking the strongest possible legal action against individuals and networks involved in drug smuggling and distribution, he added.
