Samba, June 21
Under the guidance of Senior Superintendent of Police Samba Benam Tosh, Police has achieved a major success, arrested three (03) notorious heroin suppliers including top female heroin supplier “Noori” and recovered Rs. 2,37,750.00 cash & heroin valuing Rs. 75,000.00 approximately.
The arrested notorious heroin suppliers have been identified as Noori w/o Wali Mohd alias Gulla r/o Balole tehsil Bari Brahmana, Sanjay Kumar alias Sanju s/o Sham Lal r/o Karua Kotli Manotrian tehsil Katra, district Reasi and Amit Kumar alias Gosh s/o Parshotam Kumar r/o Dasanoo tehsil Katra, district Reasi. Two separate cases : FIR No.147/2023 u/s 8/21/22/25/27-A/29 NDPS Act and FIR No.148/2023 u/s 8/21/22/25/27-A/29 NDPS Act have been registered at Police Station Bari Brahmana & further investigation is underway.
The notorious heroin suppliers have been arrested by police during special patrolling followed by raids that started at midnight on the intervening night of 20th and 21st of June 2023, at Balole Nallah in the jurisdiction of Police Station Bari Brahmana in Samba district. After the changed strategy of Samba Police, the suppliers of heroin had been indulging in illicit heroin trafficking during midnight hours under the cover of darkness to escape from police. But, this time Samba Police succeeded in seeing through their changed modus-operandi of operating during odd night hours and thus, laid nakas/patrolling at midnight & arrested three (03) heroin suppliers including a top woman heroin supplier “Noori” and recovered Rs. 2,37,750.00 cash & heroin valuing Rs. 75,000.00 approximately.
Noori happened to be one of the top lady heroin suppliers operating from Balole Nallah of Bari Brahmana and had been supplying heroine (‘chitta’) to the drug peddlers of Udhampur, Reasi, Ramban, Doda, Kishtwar, Rajouri, Poonch, Jammu, Kathua and Samba. Shrewd lady smuggler as she was, she used to frequently change her contact numbers, locations and modus-operandi so as to evade arrest. Noori’s arrest is a big success on the part of Samba police.
The three notorious heroin smugglers were arrested by Police Station team, DPL Police Party & District Anti-NDPS team led by SHO Police Station Bari Brahmana Sunil Sharma, PSI Mohd Aslam and PSI Priya Rani under the supervision of SDPO Bari Brahmana Rahul Nagar and Addl. SP Samba Surinder Choudhary. The search was conducted in the presence of Executive Magistrate Ist Class following proper procedure under NDPS Act.
Senior Superintendent of Police Samba Benam Tosh, said that a total of fifty-four (54) heroin suppliers including eight (08) lady suppliers have been arrested by Samba Police in five months & several others have been booked under law for the arrest of whom raids are underway. Two hardcore heroin suppliers have also been detained and lodged in Jail under stringent PIT NDPS Act.
