RAJOURI, Oct 7: With an aim to act strictly against chronic drug peddlers, who are time and again found involved in drugs peddling, Rajouri Police today detained a local notorious drug peddler under Public Safety Act (PSA).
He has been identified as Mohd Shakoor, son of Mohd Bashir, resident of Dhandidhar near Rajouri town. Shakoor has been detained under Public Safety Act on the directions of Divisional Commissioner, Jammu by the District Magistrate and has been lodged in Central Jail, Kot Bhalwal, Jammu.
The said drug peddler has been found repeatedly engaged in organized illicit traffic of narcotic drugs and other banned substances, which has posed a serious threat to the health and welfare of the people of Rajouri and with a view to prevent him from committing any of the acts in future, he has been detained under PSA on the recommendations of Rajouri police.
His large scale involvement in drug peddling and other criminal activities can be gauged from the fact that as many as seven FIRs stand registered against him in District Rajouri and even in district Jammu also since 2011.
Rajouri District Administration has devised a strategy to act tough against more such chronic drug peddlers in upcoming days.
