RAJOURI, JUNE 03:–A notorious inter-state drug peddler namely Manzoor was re-arrested by Nowshera police in the wee hours on Saturday from near the Line of Control in the general area of Kalal after he (Sikander) escaped from the custody of Nowshera police station in the morning on Friday.
Sikander was arrested by the Punjab police in the month of August 2021 and was booked under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Kathu Nangal police station (FIR164/2021).
Recently Sikander, a resident of the border village Sariya (Nowshera), was brought by Nowshera police reportedly to investigate his involvement in drug smuggling & recovery of Rs 29.5 lakh (in the month of September 2021) from his house in 2021 jointly by Punjab & Nowshera police.
Sikander’s involvement was also figured in the recovery of Rs 1.64 crore from two bags that were abandoned by another notorious drug smuggler, a relative of Sikander, namely Manzoor Ahmed s/o Gulzar Hussain r/o Sariya.
In the month of September 2021, Manzoor Ahmed while shifting cash amounting to Rs 1.64 crores to safer places was intercepted by the Army in the wee hours.
Taking advantage of the dark, Manzoor managed to escape leaving behind the bags containing cash worth Rs 1.64 crores .
Manzoor, who is still evading arrest, was booked under sections 17, 21 UAP Act, 1967 at the Nowshera police station (FIR No.184/2021).
The escape of Manzoor from Nowshera police custody was a big setback for the entire police force and all the senior officers, including Additional SP, SDPO, and SHO were on their toes since Friday morning to trace and arrest Sikander.
Even drones were put into action to trace Sikander and finally, he was arrested from Kalal area where he was reportedly hiding in the forested area.
Police are likely to lodge formal FIR against Sikander in this matter.
