JAMMU, Apr 15: The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday said a major narcotics network with interstate and cross-border links was busted with the arrest of most-wanted drug kingpin Gulzar Ahmad alias Lau Gujjar along with several of his associates.
\nSenior Superintendent of Police (Jammu) Joginder Singh said Gujjar had been supplying narcotics in bulk quantities across the region, and evading capture for more than two decades, terming his arrest a major breakthrough.
\n\u201cHe was a hardcore criminal and a key figure in the drug supply chain. His network has now been fully identified and dismantled,\u201d the SSP told reporters here.
\nHe said Gujjar entered the criminal world as a bovine smuggler in 2006 before launching himself into drug trade around 2016, and scaling up operations by 2019.
\nA Pakistan-made pistol was recovered from his possession at the time of his arrest on April 4, the SSP said, adding that three of his associated were also arrested and more than 700 grams of heroin was seized.Interrogation of around 10 more suspects linked to the network is underway, while around two dozen other suspects have been identified and are under surveillance, he said.
\nSSP Singh said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a superintendent of police rank officer has been constituted to probe the case, who would examine forward and backward linkages of the network including financial trails and assets created through illicit trade.
\nThe police are trying to ascertain the source and the routes through which these illicit supplies entered India \u2014 whether through Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir or through other border areas, he said.
\nSingh said the weapon recovered from the accused drug lord indicates a Pakistan link. \u201cWe are investigating that aspect as well, pointing towards broader narco-terror angle.\u201d The SSP said Gujjar was wanted in at least 28 cases in Jammu district alone and dozens of FIRs are registered against him in other states under different identities.
\nHighlighting the crackdown against drug syndicates, he said police have so far registered 103 cases related to drug peddling in Jammu district this year.
\nOut of these, nine cases involve commercial quantities of contraband.
\nNearly 11 kg of heroin has been seized, along with poppy husk, ganja, controlled medication capsules, and other such contraband, he said, adding around 20 driving licences have been cancelled, and nearly 200 vehicles linked to drug activities have been blacklisted.<\/p>\n
