JAMMU, Oct 3: The sleuths of Special Operation Group (SOG) Jammu and cops from Bagh-e-Bahu Police Station arrested two Kashmir based drug traffickers along with 500 kilograms of poppy straw.
As per police sources, based on credible information, the sleuths of SOG Jammu and cops from Bagh-e-Bahu Police Station led by SP Operations Jammu Vinay Sharma raised a surprise checking point at Environmental Park and signaled a tanker bearing registration number JK01J-0713 to stop for checking.
On seeing police cops, the driver accelerated the vehicle and escaped from the spot. Stinking something fishy, the cops chased and intercepted the vehicle near some distance from the checking point.
