The FIR was registered against the eight for “violating the law of the land” and a team was set up to nab them for “hurting the sentiments of people”, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said in a statement.
The Katra Police Station received a complaint on March 15 that some guests staying at a hotel were found consuming alcohol on the premises in violation of rules. An FIR was then registered against the eight.
“Sensing the gravity of the matter, instructions were issued by Senior Superintendent of Police, Reasi, Paramvir Singh to nab the miscreants and set an example of zero tolerance of any such act at a religious place which can hurt the sentiments of people,” he said.
