Jammu Rural Police Bust Major Drug Racket in Pallanwala: Over 3,000 Intoxicating Capsules Seized

JAMMU, February 23, 2026 — In a major breakthrough under its ongoing “War on Drugs” campaign, the Jammu Rural Police dismantled a significant pharmaceutical drug trafficking module in the Pallanwala area today, resulting in the arrest of one individual and the recovery of a massive contraband haul. During a routine strategic patrol, a team from the Pallanwala Police Post intercepted a suspicious person identified as Munish Kumar Sharma, a resident of Kallah, Tehsil Kharah Balli. A thorough search of the suspect led to the recovery of 3,032 loose green-coloured intoxicating capsules and two strips of Pregabalin (300 mg), all of which were being transported without any legal medical authorization or original packaging.

Following the seizure, the authorities registered FIR No. 15/2026 at the Khour Police Station under relevant sections of the NDPS Act. The accused is currently in custody as investigators work to trace the supply chain and identify the broader distribution network behind this large-scale consignment.

This operation underscores the unwavering commitment of the Jammu Police to sanitize the region from the narcotics menace and protect the youth from the devastating effects of synthetic drug abuse.
