Muktsar: List of 240 ‘drug peddlers’ goes viral

Muktsar, August 4

A list of 240 suspected drug peddlers and addicts has gone viral on social media, sending the police into a tizzy. The list includes names, police station jurisdiction and the drug they sell or are addicted to.

“We will investigate who made the list and how it went viral. We have registered 258 cases under the NDPS Act in the district this year so far against 158 lodged last year,” said Kulwant Rai, SP (PBI), Muktsar. Some anti-drug crusaders said the purpose of the compiling the list is defeated when such documents go viral. “Those named in the list will be careful now. Some of them will even go underground,” said an anti-drug crusader. — TNS
