Srinagar March 28: Srinagar Police have booked three infamous drug peddlers under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (PIT-NDPS Act).

The action by Srinagar Police is part of its continuous relentless crackdown against drug trafficking and dismantling the illegal narcotics network.

As per the handout issued here, the notorious drug peddlers have been identified as Perveiz Ahmad Ganie @ Pawa son of Mohammad Jaffar Ganie resident of Kenihama Budgam, Haris Bilal Dar son of Bilal Ahmad Dar resident of Elahibagh Soura Srinagar and Saqib Ahmad Shah son of Ghulam Hassan Shah resident of Asar Colony Hazratbal Srinagar.

"All the three have been booked under the PIT-NDPS Act after obtaining the formal detention orders from Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir on the basis of dossiers prepared by Srinagar police against them," the handout reads.

It reads that these drug peddlers were detained and subsequently lodged in District Jail of Kathua.

"These drug peddlers have been involved in the peddling of narcotics among the youth of Srinagar on an alarming scale," Police handout reads.

It reads that these peddlers were also involved in several NDPS Act cases of various police stations of Srinagar.

"Despite several NDPS Act cases registered against them, they did not mend their ways after getting bailed out from courts and were brazenly promoting drugs among the youth of the valley, especially in Srinagar, through their illegal narcotics network," the handout reads.

As per the handout, Police have also set into motion the process to attach their properties under the provisions of PIT-NDPS Act.

"J&K Police affirms its steadfast commitment of eliminating drug peddling in the region with the full might of law," it reads.
