Inter-state drug Racket busted in Anantnag; 3 persons arrested, more arrests expected: Police

TDD Correspondent

Srinagar, (TDD): In a significant operation, Anantnag Police have dismantled a major interstate drug trafficking network, arresting four individuals involved in the illicit trade.

A police spokesman said that acting on credible intelligence about a consignment of narcotic drugs being transported from Delhi to Srinagar, Police established multiple checkpoints along the route. A vehicle was intercepted at Doonipora Sangam, leading to the arrest of three suspects.

The arrested individuals, identified as Monty Singh of Bulandshahar, UP, Ashish Bardawaj, and Rahul from Chhatarpur, New Delhi, were travelling in a Toyota car. Upon inspection, Police recovered 413 bottles of Codeine Phosphate (NRX), branded as Codril-T, concealed in the car’s door panels.

The consignment was reportedly intended for delivery in Sopore and Srinagar. Following further investigations, multiple raids were conducted, resulting in the detention of a local smuggler from Sopore for questioning. Cooperation with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in New Delhi led to a raid at a warehouse in Noida’s Sector 135, where a substantial quantity of Codeine was recovered.

The key individuals behind the racket, Sachin Rana and Arun Rana from Faridabad, have been identified, and efforts to apprehend them are ongoing. This operation has uncovered both the forward and backward linkages of the interstate drug network, with further arrests expected as the investigation continues.(TDD)
