Jammu- An alleged drug peddler was detained on Saturday under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district, police said.
Prakash Singh, a resident of Thilloo village, is a habitual offender involved in the trafficking of narcotic drugs despite repeated preventive measures, including two FIRs registered this year, a police spokesman said.
Considering his continued involvement in narcotic trafficking, the divisional commissioner of Jammu recently issued a preventive detention order against Singh under the PIT-NDPS Act, he said.
The order has been executed and Singh has been lodged in the district jail in Poonch, the spokesman said.
