Woman among three drug peddlers arrested under NDPS Act
Ferozepur, February 21, 2024: The Ferozepur police claimed to have captured three drug peddlers including a woman under its anti-drug campaign, by making special teams to keep a cat-eye on the anti-social, evil and mischievous persons. To avoid suspicion of trafficking, women are used as labour and used to smuggle drugs.
The teams of Lakho Ke Behram arrested three drug peddlers including a woman identified as Mohinder Kaur of village Jawahar Singh Wala, Amritpal Singh alias Rinku of Wakilan Wali Gali and Manpreet Singh of village Haraz of Talwandi Bhai, with recovery of 1,050 habit forming drugs and 46 gm opium.
Randhir Kumar, SP said, it is very unfortunate that women have been involved in the drug trade as well as youths. He said, our teachers can play a decisive role in preventing young students from this ominous menace. A teacher is generally a role model for the students and has considerable and credible influence on their minds. This can be possible if schools play their roles in a positive direction. He said, all three accused have been booked under the NDPS Act and they will be produced in the court for remand and further investigations.
