In major progress in the narco-terror case, the police on Friday arrested another member of the module from a border village and recovered arms and ammunition from him.
Police identified the arrested person as Rohit Kumar and acting upon his disclosure, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) conducted a search at his residence in the border village of Raiyan Kotliyan, in R.S. Pura, which resulted in the recovery of one Italian pistol (Px5 Storm Beretta, .30 bore), one magazine and three live rounds.
The Jammu South Zone Police said it has achieved further significant progress in the high-profile case earlier busted by Police Station Gandhi Nagar, involving an inter-district, inter-state and cross-border narcotics and arms syndicate following a deep, sustained and professional investigation.
On 14 November 2025, Police Station Gandhi Nagar had registered FIR No. 249/2025 U/S 8/21/22/29 NDPS Act & 111 BNS after apprehending two persons during patrolling, which subsequently led to the unearthing of a well-organised narco-terror module. During the investigation, multiple accused were arrested, including peddlers, financial handlers and jail-based facilitators, and recoveries of over 4.95 kg of heroin-like substance, three pistols, live ammunition, and a modified vehicle were effected, revealing cross-border linkages.
In the continued deep and professional investigation of the said case, one more accused has been apprehended by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted under the supervision of SP City South and SDPO City South.
The accused is presently in police custody, and further interrogation is underway to establish his exact role, backward and forward linkages, and arms supply routes.
Efforts are being intensified to identify and apprehend remaining associates, trace financial and logistical channels and establish complete cross-border and interstate linkages.
Jammu Police remains firmly committed to dismantling narco-terror ecosystems, neutralising criminal networks, and ensuring the safety and security of the youth and citizens of Jammu, the Police said.
