J&K man, held in interstate narcotics network, claims to be part of LG’s anti-drug campaign
The J&K Police on October 1 busted a major racket and arrested eight locals from Srinagar, in an interstate narcotics case, including Haris Hameed Malla; social media account shows him flaunting his influence by posing with politicians and officials
A resident of Srinagar, Haris Hameed Malla, was among eight individuals apprehended by the J&K Police on October 1 in an interstate narcotics case. Malla, who allegedly operated within a narcotics network, had posed with politicians, officials, and senior police officers on social media, claiming connections to the LG’s anti-drug campaign.
The police claim that the network was involved in the procurement, transportation, storage, distribution, and financing of banned pharmaceutical drugs, with extensive linkages beyond J&K. They recovered around ₹2.20 crore in cash, drugs, and a firearm during the raid. The authenticity of Malla's claim to be part of the LG's anti-drug campaign remains unverified.
