SRINAGAR: In a major breakthrough in Narco-terror case of 2022, the State Investigation Agency has arrested a notorious Narco-Terror operator Abdul Rashid Bhat R/o Padgampora, Awantipora of District Pulwama. The accused who was evading arrest for more than 02 years was designated a proclaimed offender by the court of Law in case FIR 19/2022 of SIA Kashmir. 

Pertinently, Rashid is the third absconder to be arrested in the case so far following years of pursuit. His arrest marks a severe blow to the LeT operated Narco-Terror module backed by Pak based handlers, this module was involved in smuggling of narcotics & arms through dead drop consignments near LOC in Karnah sector and subsequent transportation and sale throughout the valley. Sale proceeds of these narcotic substances were later channelized to sustain the waning terrorism in UT of J&K. So far multiple charge sheets have been filed in this case.  

With this arrest SIA hopes to unfold some important links and to gather more evidence to be presented before the Hon’ble Court of Law to supplement the undergoing trial.
