As per the statement, two among the six accused, Saleem Andrabi and Muneer Ahmad Banday, are still absconding while four have been already arrested.

“The case arose out of Police Station Handwara, case no. 183/2020, dated 11.06.2020, wherein during checking of vehicles at Kairo Bridge, Handwara, accused Abdul Momin Peer’s Creta vehicle was intercepted by the Police Naka Party. The vehicle was searched and a cash amount of Rs 20,01,000/- and 2 kg Heroin were seized,” the statement reads.

It further reads that Abdul Momin Peer was arrested and following his disclosure, accused Syed Iftikhar Andrabi and Islam-Ul-Haq Peer were also arrested.

“The case was re-registered by NIA as RC-03/2020/NIA/DLI on 23.06.2020 and investigation was taken up. Accused Afaq Ahmad Wani, who was on the run, was arrested by NIA on 16.07.2020, based on technical analysis.”

The statement further reads that the investigation revealed that accused persons including Abdul Momin Peer and Saleem Andrabi were involved in cross-border smuggling and supply of narcotic drug Heroin in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country after procuring the same from their associates based abroad including Pakistan.

“Accused Iftikhar Andrabi and Abdul Momin Peer visited Pakistan several times during 2016-17 to meet the operatives of terrorist organisations Lashkar-E-Taiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). The amount generated from the sale of Heroin was pumped by the accused to further the terrorist activities of Lashkar-E-Taiba (LeT). Further investigation in the case is going on,” the statement reads. (KNO)
