In a major crackdown on drugs, the Shopian Police recovered a significant amount of illegal substances and cash from two residences in Melhura village.
Acting on a tip, officers raided the homes of Farooq Ahmad Koka and Ashiq Ahmad Koka. The searches yielded nearly four kilograms of charas, a cannabis derivative, hidden in plastic bags. Additionally, ₹6 lakh (₹600,000) in cash was seized from Farooq’s residence.
While the suspects managed to escape, police have launched a manhunt and registered separate cases against them. The community is urged to report any suspicious activity related to drug peddling or other crimes by contacting their nearest police station or dialing the emergency number 112.
The Shopian Police remain committed to combating drug trafficking and appreciate public cooperation in eradicating this menace from society. They assure residents that those involved in criminal activities will face the full force of the law.
