(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Saturday sacked six government employees, including five policemen, for alleged narco-terror links, officials said.

They said J-K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha invoked Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution to terminate them from service.

The sacked employees have been identified as Farooq Ahmad Sheikh ( Head Constable), Khalid Hussian Shah ( Constable), Rahmat Shah (Constable), Irshad Ahmad Chalkoo (Constable), Nazam Din (Teacher) and Saif Din (Constable), the officials said.

Investigations have revealed these employees were a part of a narco-terror network run by Pakistan spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and terror groups operating from its soil, the officials said.

“Six government officials, including five policemen and a teacher, were found involved in terror financing through drug sales,” an official said.
