JAMMU: In a significant breakthrough under Operation Sanjeevani, Jammu Police has recovered a commercial quantity of narcotics, comprising 804 grams of heroin and 1 kilogram 114 grams of opium, from the village Talhar area of Sector Arnia.

The case originated on 20 October 2026, when Police Station R.S.

Accordingly, FIR No. 186/2026 under Sections 8/18/21/22/27 of the NDPS Act was registered, and investigation was taken up.

During the course of investigation and subsequent questioning, his alleged involvement in a narcotics smuggling module linked to a drone-dropping incident came to light.
