On 05 Sep, two drug smugglers Syed Ishfaq Shah, son of Ghulam Mohiuddin Shah and Khursheed Ahmad Gojar, son of Nawabuddin Gojar residents of Jabdi Karnah, were arrested in connection with FIR No 56/2019 at Police Station Karnah. The arrest followed recovery of 15 kg brown sugar from their possession in Karnah. Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) Dar Rashid on behalf of J&K Union Territory effectively fought the legal battle.
The case was expedited and heard on a fast track basis, with the Pairvi cells, established under the guidance of the Police Headquarters, ensuring the timely presence of witnesses and their testimonies. The court convicted the duo last month on August 28 while the quantum of punishment was pronounced on Sep 05 2023. KRF hails the Honorable Court’s decision to imprison the culprits. This punishment will prove to be effective in declining drugs smuggling and aid in halting such illicit activities in future.
