After Failing In Militancy In J&K, Pak Now Smuggling Drugs Into India

New Delhi: After failing to promote militancy and infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan has now resorted to massive smuggling of drugs like heroin and cocaine into India, reports said.

Sources revealed that large quantities of heroin are being smuggled into India across the LoC and the International border.

Last month, heroin worth Rs. 600 crore was seized after an Indian Coast Guard ship intercepted a Pakistani fishing vessel off Gujarat coast in the Arabian Sea.

In another similar incident in March, the Indian Coast Guard had recovered 100 kg worth of heroin in a joint operation carried out along with the Anti-Terrorist Squad in Gujarat.

In the last 2 years, heroin worth Rs. 2,500 crore have been seized while being smuggled into India. The Narcotics Control Unit alone has seized heroin worth Rs. 1,500 crore.

According to reports, peddlers across the border are now smuggling drugs into India via the International border. Sundarbani and Suchetgarh are two such vulnerable points on the Indo-Pak border where frequent incidents of smuggling have been reported.

The strategy used by smugglers to execute their designs are peculiar- a plastic can is split into two and is re-joined later after the drug pouch is secretly sealed in-between. After this, the unsusceptible-looking can containing the drug is thrown into the Indian side.

Sources have revealed that Pakistan’s drug-mafia Chaudhary Akram is the mastermind behind the smuggling of heroin into India from across the border. He operates this illicit business in contact with some smugglers in India, with a strong presence in Kathua and Poonch in the Jammu sector near the Line of Control (LoC).

Akram’s group of peddlers in Pakistan receive help from the Pakistani rangers deployed along the border. These rangers facilitate smuggling into India by helping the peddlers reach the border, from where the drugs are sneaked into India.
