Nurpur Police have achieved another major breakthrough in their ongoing campaign against narcotics trafficking. Within a week, this marks the fourth significant arrest under the backward-forward linkage strategy.
Case Details: Police Station Damtal, under case FIR No. 127/24 (Sections 21, 29 NDPS Act), had earlier seized 262 grams of heroin. During investigation, Rajat Kumar was identified as a co-accused.
Accused Profile:
- Name: Rajat Kumar
- Father’s Name: Shri Chandra Shekhar
- Residence: Village & Post Office Channi, Tehsil Indora, District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh
Rajat Kumar was previously declared a Proclaimed Offender (P.O.) by the Hon’ble Court in connection with FIR No. 197/20 (NDPS Act) registered at Police Station Damtal. He was arrested in that case recently and was in judicial custody. Following legal procedure, Nurpur Police secured custody transfer to interrogate him further in FIR No. 127/24, linking him to the wider drug trafficking network.
Criminal Record: Investigations reveal that Rajat Kumar is a habitual offender and a seasoned drug trafficker. He faces a total of six criminal cases registered in Himachal Pradesh and neighboring Punjab.
The accused was produced before the Hon’ble Court (Ld. JMFC, Indora), which granted three days of police remand for intensive interrogation.
Nurpur Police remain committed to dismantling drug networks through backward and forward linkage investigations, ensuring strict action against traffickers.
