Jammu, December 4, 2025 : Jammu Police on Thursday claimed a major breakthrough against cross-border narco-terrorism with the arrest of six accused and the recovery of nearly 5 kilograms of heroin, along with three pistols and ammunition.
Officials said the international market value of the seized contraband exceeds ₹30 crore.
Addressing the media, Superintendent of Police Ajay Sharma stated that 4.95 kilograms of heroin was recovered and four of the arrested accused have already been sent to judicial custody.
“During digital analysis, it was found that the accused were directly connected with Pakistani handlers who were supplying drugs as part of a larger conspiracy to destroy the youth of this nation,” the SP said.
Calling it a clear case of narco-terrorism, Sharma added that the accused were waging an unconventional war against India, following which relevant sections of UAPA have also been invoked. A formal case has been registered at Gandhi Nagar Police Station under the NDPS Act.
Key Arrests & Recoveries:
-
Karan Sharma (Jourian) and Nikhlesh Verma (Udhampur) were first arrested with 3.26 kg heroin.
-
Later, police arrested Mohammad Yousef (Narwal, Jammu), Gulshan Kumar (Rajouri – financial handler), and Jasvinder Kumar (Nowshera) with additional heroin.
-
Gulshan’s vehicle was found to be specially modified with hidden cavities for drug smuggling.
-
Jasvinder was already facing another narcotics case.
Further investigation led to the arrest of Shamdin of Nikki Tawi (Jammu), from whom 619 grams of heroin, one pistol, and live rounds were recovered.
Another accused, Abdul Hamid of Maraliya, RS Pura, is currently absconding. Police recovered two pistols, including one automatic weapon, along with ammunition from his residence.
Police confirmed that most of the accused belong to areas near the Indo-Pak border, reinforcing the cross-border narco-terror angle.
Jammu Police reiterated that the crackdown is part of a zero-tolerance policy against narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, and further arrests are likely as the investigation progresses.
