Following his arrest, he was produced before the Honorable Court, which subsequently ordered him to be lodged in District Jail Udhampur. This arrest underscores the relentless commitment of the Udhampur Police to track down long-term fugitives and clean the region of drug-related crimes.
By successfully executing this high-profile warrant, the district police have sent a strong message that no offender, regardless of how long they have been in hiding, can escape the reach of the law.
