The arrested heroin suppliers have been identified as Shamasu Din alias Bachu s/o Masoom Ali r/o Rakh Barotian Vijaypur and Mushtaq Ahmed alias Nayat s/o Zahoor Hussain r/o Rakh Barotian Vijaypur. They used to collect consignment of heroin from Punjab and supply it further to the small suppliers and individual addicts of Samba and Jammu districts on huge margins.
Senior Superintendent of Police Samba Benam Tosh said that police is proactive to vanish narco-business in Samba district once for all and would definitely achieve the intended target of completely freeing Samba society from drug menace.
Removed Selection Grade Constable Varinder Pal Singh was habitual of absenteeism and had remained absent from duties for as many as seven (7) years and 1 month after his first appointment and was having inflicted several major and minor punishments as per service records.
The departmental action against the official has been taken by SSP Samba in terms of Art-128 of J&K Civil Services Regulations (CSR, Vol-I ) after the suspended official did not bother to report back for duties for as many as 2 years , 1 month and 7 days despite several wireless signals, two Attendance Notices served upon him through concerned police station as well as through representatives of samba police and final Show Cause Notice, which was also got published in newspapers . However, his reply of Show Cause Notice , addressed to none , that too furnished after expiry of stipulated time , was got examined through a board comprising of Addl SP Samba Surinder Choudhary, DySP Hqrs Mohd. Usman , DySP DAR Samba Ajay Anand and DySP (P) Mamta Sharma , who submitted written report with the remarks that the reply was " not convincing and unauthorized absence of over two years is not justified ". Moreover, Enquiry Officer (EO) had also recommended his removal from service under Art-128 of J&K CSR, Vol-I, as he was habitual of absenteeism and his continuation in police service was prejudicial to the interest of the department. Hence SSP Samba has taken appropriate departmental action under rules in the interest of the department.
This is the second cop removed from service on account of prolonged absence and gross service misconduct within two months in Samba district. Earlier, SSP Samba Benam Tosh had removed from service SgCt Amar Singh for unauthorizedly absence of over one year and seemingly no interest to serve in Police department any more.
