J-K: SIA arrests notorious smuggler in narco-terror case
In a separate incident, the State Investigation Agency of Jammu and Kashmir has arrested a key narcotic smuggler, wanted in a narco-terror case from Kathua, who had been on the run for the last three years, said an official press release.
The apprehended accused has been identified as Zafraan Khan, son of Shafi Ullah Khan and a resident of Uri, Baramulla district. He was apprehended by a special SIA team from Kathua district. His arrest marks a severe blow to the narco-terror module backed by Pakistani-based terror handlers, the release said.
This module was involved in the smuggling of narcotic substances through the LOC Uri sector and subsequent transportation and sale in both the Kashmir valley and the Jammu region. The proceeds of these narcotic substances were later channelled to sustain the waning terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
