Anantnag, Jammu & Kashmir: In a decisive move against the growing drug menace in the region, District Police Anantnag has successfully apprehended four drug peddlers in separate operations, seizing significant amounts of heroin-like substances from their possession.

The crackdown was part of the police’s ongoing commitment to combating the illicit drug trade that continues to plague local communities.

Lady Drug Peddler Arrested Near Bangidar Bridge

The first major success occurred near the Bangidar Bridge, where a notorious female drug peddler, Khushbu Jan, daughter of Farooq Ahmad Sheikh, was arrested. Police seized 07 grams of heroin-like substance from her possession. Khushbu Jan, a resident of Bangidar, is now facing charges under Section 8/21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. A case (FIR No. 100/2025) has been filed at the Police Station Anantnag, and investigations are ongoing.

Two More Arrests in Separate Drug Seizures

In another significant operation, two male drug peddlers were apprehended in possession of heroin-like substances. Nargis, wife of Mohammad Ali from Bawana JJ Colony, Delhi, was arrested with 03 grams of the substance, while Mohammad Irfan, a resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, was caught with 06 grams. Both individuals have been booked under the NDPS Act, and FIR No. 104/2025 has been registered at Police Station Anantnag. The investigation is continuing.
