Jaipur: Jaipur police through their Operation Clean Sweep, have registered 500 FIRs and arrested 635 drug peddlers in a campaign against drug peddling in past one year. This was revealed by Jaipur police while emphasising that the crackdown on drug peddling will continue in the city.
Ajay Pal Lamba, additional commissioner of police (crime) on Monday stated that in Jaipur, the consumption of ganja (marijuana) was maximum in past one year. “We had registered 500 FIRs against narcotics peddling in Jaipur and have arrested 635 persons. During the drive, we have also seized nearly 36 quintal and 12 kg of marijuana, among other substances,” Lamba added.
He said that in Jaipur, LSD, Brown Sugar and banned drugs like traurmadol and aprazol were also seized. “In order to continue the crackdown, we have dedicated district special teams in every police district to focus on checking narcotics peddling,” he added.
“Since peddlers on a micro level are active as peddling smaller amounts of drugs is a bailable offence, we have to continue the crackdown on them,” he added.
