Meanwhile, in Kupwara, police arrested Danish Ahmad Sheikh, son of Mohammad Yousf Sheikh of Tikker Kupwara, following the seizure of a heroin-like substance. He remains in custody at the local police station.
Both have been charged under relevant sections of law, and investigations are underway.
In Sopore, police booked three individuals under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (PIT NDPS) for repeated involvement in drug peddling. The accused are:
