NCB seizes 385 gms heroin, arrests one in Jammu

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Jammu Zonal Unit, seized 385 grams of suspected heroin and arrested one person during an intelligence-led operation in the Digiana area of Jammu on 16 October 2026, NCB said on Saturday.

Acting on specific intelligence regarding suspected heroin trafficking, NCB Jammu conducted surveillance in Digiana and intercepted a person stated to be a resident of Miran Sahib, Jammu, while he was allegedly attempting to deliver the contraband. The operation led to the recovery and seizure of four packets containing a total of 385 grams of suspected heroin.

Preliminary investigation suggests possible links between Jammu-based traffickers and sources in Punjab, with the suspected contraband believed to be intended for distribution in Jammu district. These leads remain under investigation.

Further investigation is underway to identify other persons involved and establish the wider network’s forward and backward linkages, including any interstate connections. NCB Jammu is pursuing these leads to disrupt the suspected trafficking network beyond the immediate seizure and arrest.

NCB Jammu appeals to citizens to support the fight against drug trafficking and substance abuse by sharing credible information through the National Narcotics Helpline — MANAS (1933). Information may be shared confidentially.

NCB Jammu reiterates its commitment to sustained, intelligence-led enforcement against drug trafficking and to the national mission of Nasha Mukt Bharat, NCB said.
