A Kashmiri charas supplier has been arrested recently by the Mumbai Crime Branch from a sensitive area in Srinagar. Unit 6 of Mumbai Crime Branch made the arrest with the help of Srinagar police which deployed around 100 armed personnel to escort the Mumbai team to avoid any untoward incident as the area is sensitive and the drug dealers from these pockets are believed to have links with narco-terror groups.

The accused was arrested from Magarmal Baug of Srinagar on January 8. However there was a delay in bringing the accused to Mumbai as the cops got stuck there due to bad weather and heavy snowfall.
