Srinagar Police have arrested a father-son duo for their alleged involvement in a narco-terror network operating across Jammu and Kashmir. The arrests were made following a coordinated operation based on specific intelligence inputs regarding the movement of individuals linked to cross-border drug trafficking and funding channels connected to terror activities.
According to police officials, the two accused were apprehended during a late-night raid conducted by a joint team of the Special Operations Group and local police units. Investigators stated that the duo had been under surveillance for several weeks after evidence suggested their role in facilitating the distribution of narcotics and channeling proceeds toward terror operatives.
During the operation, authorities recovered a quantity of narcotics, communication devices, and documents believed to be linked to the wider network. Preliminary investigation indicates that the suspects maintained contact with operatives based outside the region and played a key role in the coordination of drug consignments entering the Valley.
Police officials emphasized that the arrests mark a significant breakthrough in ongoing efforts to dismantle narco-terror modules that exploit drug trafficking to fund unlawful activities. They noted that further interrogation is underway to identify additional associates, financial handlers, and supply routes connected to the case.
The Srinagar Police have reiterated their commitment to intensifying operations against networks involved in narcotics, terror financing, and cross-border coordination. Authorities urged citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to help strengthen community safety and security across the district.
Additional details are expected as the investigation progresses and forensic examinations of the seized items are completed.
