Jammu, Feb 17 : In a major breakthrough, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) Jammu arrested long-time absconder Arif Ibrahim Sayyed, a key co-accused in FIR No. 09/2023 under Sections 8/20/29 of the NDPS Act at PS ANTF Jammu, from Maharashtra after years of evasion.
Sayyed, son of Ibrahim Sayyed and resident of Sooraj Apartment, Shadi Mahal, Insha Nagar, Mumbra (Thane), had been linked to the narcotics supply chain through credible evidence, prompting arrest warrants under Section 24 of the Police Act from the Sub Judge Court, Jammu. Acting on precise intelligence, an ANTF team tracked him in Mumbra, coordinating with local NDPS police to apprehend him on February 14, 2026, followed by transit remand from CJM Thane court.
The operation advances efforts to dismantle the inter-state drug network tied to the case, with investigations probing further links and associates. ANTF J&K reaffirmed its resolve to pursue offenders nationwide.
