The Story in Brief
Police arrested two drug peddlers in separate raids in Shopian and Pulwama districts of Jammu and Kashmir. During a naka check at Manihal Crossing, officers recovered 44 grams of charas sticks from Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, a resident of Tulkhan Bijbehara. In another operation at Checkpora Bypass Bridge in Pulwama, police seized 27 bottles of Wecan-D (Codeine) from a motorcycle. The rider, Adil Bashir Ganie of Dangerpora, was arrested on the spot.
Both accused have been booked under relevant sections of law. Police are investigating forward and backward linkages to dismantle the larger drug network. Authorities have urged the public to share information on drug peddling, assuring confidentiality.
The Indian Opinion
These arrests show police are active, but each such raid raises the same question: how many more peddlers operate unnoticed? The focus on street-level seizures, while necessary, rarely touches the kingpins. Unless investigation seriously pursues financing and supply chains, these will remain symbolic. Public cooperation may help, but the real test is whether charges lead to convictions that disrupt the network, not just clear the beat.
