Kishtwar/Doda June 17, 2026: Continuing its relentless crackdown on drug trafficking under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, Doda Police has achieved another major breakthrough in a significant NDPS case by arresting an absconding accused and effecting further recovery of narcotics and incriminating material.
The accused, Heena Begum alias Takri, wife of Zaheer Abbas and a resident of Sadeeq Abad, Dhak Mohalla, Doda, had been evading arrest since the registration of FIR No. 93/2026 under Sections 8/21/22/29 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Doda. Following sustained efforts involving technical surveillance, intelligence gathering and extensive field operations, police teams successfully apprehended the accused.
During sustained interrogation, the accused reportedly made vital disclosures that led to the recovery of an additional 15 grams of heroin-like substance, including the weight of the polythene cover. Police also recovered a digital weighing machine, silver foil and other incriminating material allegedly used for weighing, packaging and consumption of narcotic substances.
In a parallel financial investigation conducted under the provisions of the NDPS Act, Doda Police traced proceeds of crime linked to drug trafficking and successfully froze bank accounts containing approximately ₹19 lakh belonging to the accused persons involved in the case. Officials said the financial probe is being further expanded to identify additional assets and proceeds generated through the illegal narcotics trade.
With the latest recovery, the total quantity of heroin-like substance seized in the case has now reached 100 grams, further strengthening the evidence against the accused and exposing a larger organised drug trafficking network.
Cumulative Recoveries and Seizures in the Case:
* 100 grams of heroin/brown sugar-like substance
* 99 grams of charas
* ₹23,12,160 cash
* ₹19 lakh frozen in bank accounts
* 24 Android mobile phones
* One digital weighing machine
* Silver foil and other incriminating material
Police said investigations conducted so far have revealed the involvement of the accused persons in an organised narcotics trafficking network operating in the area. Further investigation is underway to identify additional links, assets and proceeds of crime connected with the racket.
Doda Police reiterated its unwavering commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against drug trafficking and remains steadfast in its mission to eradicate the menace of drugs from society. The public has been urged to share information regarding drug peddling or suspicious activities, with police assuring complete confidentiality of informers.
