(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Jammu- Jammu and Kashmir Police has detained two alleged drug peddlers under the PIT-NDPS Act and Public Safety Act in Jammu and Kathua districts, officials said on Sunday.

Manpreet Singh alias Sartaj, a resident of Miran Sahib area in Jammu, has been booked under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act after obtaining a formal detention order from the divisional commissioner, a police spokesman said.

The accused has been lodged in the Udhampur district jail, he said.

“Multiple FIRs were registered against Singh, who was found involved in promoting the drug trade. Despite his previous arrests in NDPS cases, he did not mend his ways and was found involved in supplying drugs to the local youth,” the spokesman said.

“Singh managed to secure bail in the previous cases. To prevent the subject from indulging in criminal activities, a dossier under the stringent PIT-NDPS Act was recommended against him,” he said.
