Meanwhile, Police in Handwara booked a notorious drug peddler Aijaz Ahamd Bhat @Tanveer son of Mohd Ramzan Bhat resident of Kralgund Qaziabad under PIT NDPS Act after obtaining formal detention order from the competent authority. The booked drug peddler has been detained and subsequently lodged in jail.
Pertinent to mention here that many cases are registered against the said drug peddlers and they were involved in promoting drug abuse trade by supplying drugs to the local youth. Despite their involvement in many FIRs, they did not mend his activities.
