IEP CHANDIGARH

In the regional conference on drug trafficking, national security organized under the Chairmanship of Union Home Minister, Sh. Amit Shah to root out the drug abuse menace from the northern states and formulating proactive strategies here today, Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said that drug addiction and drug trafficking are a matter of concern for the entire world. This problem is not limited to any one country rather the entire world is fighting against this societal evil, said Sh. Manohar Lal.

The Chief Minister said that due to various reasons not only our youth, but children are also falling prey to substance abuse.  To tackle this social issue, we need to put up a joint fight to break this network, said Manohar Lal.

He said that if the one state police take strict action against drug peddlers and those involved in illegal drug trafficking, then these drug dealers and peddlers shift to neighbouring states.

“The network of drug dealers is spread all over the country. Law enforcement agencies of various states are putting up a tough fight to break this network. However this problem can be curbed if the law enforcement agencies of different states work untidily with mutual coordination,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.

Haryana Police succeeded in catching drug smugglers

The Chief Minister said that according to the decisions taken in the earlier conferences on the issue of drug smuggling and national security, Haryana has  not only taken effective steps, but their results are also coming. More than 200 NDPS Act cases are registered in Haryana every month. Till June 30, 1913 cases were registered in the state in which 2661 accused were arrested.  Also, till June 2022, around Rs 32 crore recovered from 253 drug smugglers has been seized and the process of confiscation of property worth Rs 13 crore is going on, shared Sh. Manohar Lal.

The Chief Minister said that the State Police has been directed to thoroughly investigate every case and tighten the noose of those involved in this illicit trade. As a result of this, Haryana Police has succeeded in nabbing drug smugglers even from the inaccessible areas of remote states like Telangana, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh.

142 drug de-addiction centres operational in the state

The Chief Minister said that under the NDPS Act, 142 drug de-addiction centres have been opened in the state. Apart from these, mental health and drug de-addiction wards have been opened in all government medical colleges. De-addiction centres are also being opened in civil hospitals in every district of the state. So far these centres have been opened in 13 districts.

Psychiatrists are providing de-addiction services in civil hospitals in all the districts where de-addiction centre are yet to be established. So far these centres have been opened in Hisar and Rohtak jails, shared Sh. Manohar Lal.

The Chief Minister said that the State Government has constituted Haryana State Drug Prevention Committee to identify, treat and financially rehabilitate drug addicts and bring them back into the mainstream of society. This Committee will also work to make people aware by doing research about the social, economic, health and other harms caused by drugs, he added.

Drug smugglers caught in a systematic manner by identifying the drugs hotspots

The Chief Minister said that Haryana Police is maintaining effective coordination with the Narcotic Control Bureau to deal with the inter-state smuggling gangs.

We have also assigned some cases to NCB for research purposes. Hence while working amicably, a massive crackdown against drug abuse and smugglers have been launched. For cooperation at all levels with neighbouring states, we have established a centralised secretariat at Panchkula in Haryana. In this secretariat eight states of northern India collect and share information about drug trafficking. Through this centralized system, hundreds of drug traffickers have been arrested and our struggle against drugs has been strengthened,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.

The State Government has established the Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau.  Furthermore, under the ambitious State Action Plan against drug abuse hundreds of policemen under the guidance of an officer of ADG rank has been dedicatedly working to completely eliminate this social evil, said the Chief Minister.

Furthermore under this plan, apart from taking strict action against drug smugglers, 18 departments of the government are engaged in spreading awareness about drug abuse, informed Sh. Manohar Lal.

He said that the Narcotic Control Bureau had last year identified the drug- hotspots based on the number of cases registered in 272 districts of the country. There are 10 districts in the state of Haryana. The police of these districts are engaged in nabbing the drug smugglers in a planned manner, added the Chief Minister.

IT equally supporting in the fight against drugs

Sh. Manohar Lal said that in the fight against drugs the support of IT is completely utilised which is further supporting in tracing the violators. Through a mobile app named ‘Prayas’, we are collecting data about drug addicts and taking effective steps for their de-addiction. As a pilot project, State Action Plan has been implemented in Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Panchkula, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa districts, under which work is being done to upload the relevant data in Prayas App. Through a mobile app named ‘Saathi’, we are tracking the sale of medicines so that synthetic drugs can be curbed.

As a pilot project, work is being done to upload related data in the Saathi app for monitoring of banned drugs under the State Action Plan in district Sonipat. The Chief Minister suggested that in order to track such banned drugs, which are possible to be used as intoxicants, it should be made mandatory by the Central Government to get them unique serial numbers. He added that in order to create a centralized state database of all activities related to crimes, criminals, victims etc. a software HAWK has been developed. This has helped in cracking down on drug dealers.

Many programmes have been started to save children and youth from drug addiction

A programme ‘Dhakad’ has been started at the level of schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions to save children and youth from drug addiction. Under the State Action Plan prepared by the Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau, the students of all educational institutions of Haryana State are to be made aware of the ill effects of drugs and to make them aware through the proposed DHAKAD programme. Under the State Action Plan, mission teams will be formed from village and ward level to state level. These will include sarpanch, village secretary, patwari, retired military personnel, school principal, beat in-charge, numberdar, female members etc. In this way, with the participation of the general public, it will be implemented as a mass movement.

The Chief Minister said that today Haryana is a leader in sports, we are engaged in promoting sports so that the youth energies can be channelised towards other recreational activities and they shall not step in the dark world of drugs. He said that if we take steps together in coordination, then only we will be able to make northern states drug-free. It is expected that this conference will be effective in formulating a strategy to crack down on illegal drug trade in the northern states. The Chief Minister urged the Union Home Minister, Sh.

Four MLAs of the state had received death threat and extortion calls from multiple phone numbers tracing to the countries in the middle east between 24-06-22 and 28-06-22. FIRs were lodged against these threats and had been assigned to STF(H) by DGP Haryana Sh. PK Agrawal, IPS to investigate. Technical analysis of these mobiles has confirmed that these numbers are registered in the Middle Eastern countries and were being operated from Pakistan. Some ex-MLAs of Punjab had also received similar threats from these numbers. Different tones and conversational styles, like Mumbaikar tone and Punjabi language, were used during these conversations with these MLAs. IGP STF(H) Sh. Satish Balan IPS had formed an SIT under the leadership of Sh Sumit Kumar IPS SP STF(H) to investigate these cases.The SIT included STF Units which were led by Sh Sandeep Dhankhar, DSP STF(H) and Sh Surendra Kinha, DSP STF(H). The two week long operation was personally monitored and supervised by Sh. PK Agrawal IPS, DGP Haryana In this context the Director General of Police (H) has been aided by the central agencies. STF conducted a technical analysis of these mobile numbers and IP addresses. This involved five separate teams working on this technical analysis.

          While working on this link, the STF(H) prepared a strategic plan through which STF(H) team  started receiving these threat and extortion calls. The STF(H) strategically crafted a plan and accordingly asked the account number and mobile numbers to complete the transaction with the extortionists. To track these account numbers, two parallel teams conducted raids across Mumbai and Mujjafarpur, Bihar

Two members of this gang namely,

1.  DuleshAlam S/O Bablu Alam resident of village Damavara PS: Sathi, Dist: Betia, Bihar

2. BadreAlam S/O Shahe Alam resident of village Bigra PS: DudharaDist: Basti, Uttar Pradesh,

were arrested from Mumbai.They were found in the possession of approximately 20 Passbook/Cheque Books, 18 ATMs, 14 fake sim cards, 1 diary and 5 mobile phones.

Similarly, from Mujjafarpur, Bihar, STF(H) arrested 4 culprits,

3.  Amit Yadav aka Radheshyam Yadav S/O Jairam Yadav resident of Hajiapur, PO Manikpur, PS: Gopalgunj, Distt. Gopalgunj, Bihar,

4. Saddiq Anwar S/o Md Safiullah resident of village Turkoliya Fatehtola PO: Banjariya Distt. Motihari, Bihar,

5. Sanoj Kumar S/o Mahesh Pandit resident of Porkharera PS: Kanti, Distt: Mujjafarpur, Bihar,

6. Kash Alam S/o Bablu Alam resident of village Damavara PS: Sathi, Distt: Betia, Bihar,

were arrested. These culprits were found to be in possession of 2 Passbook/Cheque book, 2 diaries, 1 register, 42 sim cards, 19 mobile phones, 37 ATMs. Till date, a total of 55 ATMs, 24 mobile phones, 56 sim cards, 22 Passbook/Cheque books, Rs. 3,97,000/-, one car TATA Punch, 3 diaries and 1 register have been found in the possession of the culprits. It was found that these culprits often enticed poor or common people by offering them 15-20 thousand rupees and convinced them to open bank accounts and would then keep all the documents (Passbook/Cheque book/ATM Card/ATM Pin) with themselves and would buy fake sim cards to operate these accounts. During these raids, the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, STF Bihar and Bihar Police offered complete support to STF (H). While interrogation, the STF(H) found approximately 10 Pakistani residents through whom the threats and extortion were routed.

          It is important to clarify that these accused do not belong to any criminal gang or terrorist organisation. This in fact is a gang of very sharp criminals who are involved in professional fraud, money laundering and have their members across Pakistan, Middle East and India. People sitting across these other countries would entice victims by naming “Kaun Banega Crorepati” or lotteries or by extortion calls and would make them transfer money to the account numbers given by Dulesh or Amit. Dulesh and Amit then either withdraw this money via ATMs or would transfer this amount to the Indian accounts of their Pakistan based gang members.
