news.outlookindia.com | Afghan Heroin Used to Lure Youths for Stone Pelting

A narcotic dimension to violent street protests in Kashmir valley has come to light with local youths being lured by anti-national elements with Afghan heroin and steroids to take to stone pelting against security forces.

The drug factor behind the current unrest in the state came to the fore during the interrogation of some local youths arrested by the state police, official sources said today.

The sources said the arrested youths confessed to addiction to drugs which was provided to them by a local supplier in return for their participation in stone pelting and violent protests.

After getting this information, Police immediately swooped down on some of the localities but could manage to pick up only one peddler Shezad from Khanyar in the downtown area.

Police claimed that during interrogation Shezad told them he was getting heroin from a resident of Natipora, in the outskirts of the city, which he used to distribute among groups of youths in downtown areas.

Some other steroids and drugs used to be also given to the youth besides cigarettes loaded with charas, a senior police officer claimed.

The downtown area is also home to a large number of people who were terrorists before and now jobless after serving their sentences.

These youths become easily vulnerable to drug abuse encouraged by anti-national elements including separatist organisations, police said.

In one of the raids, police seized hundreds of disposable syringes and vials of heroins, steroids and analgesic injections.

The police has been told by the arrested youths that there was a well-knit network by which drugs found its way to people in various areas in the Kashmir valley.

The drugs were provided free of cost and in return they were asked to indulge in stone pelting on security forces, the sources said.

HAHAHAHA IT ONLY HAPPENS IN INDIA.

Yaar tumi tori be s sharm nai ai before telling us this ? Shame on u.

I guess next news will be ISI provided drugs lol

Fresh clashes erupt in India-controlled Kashmir, authorities re-impose curfew - People's Daily Online 18:37, July 30, 2010

At least four people were injured, one of them critically injured Friday when police fired tear smoke shells and warning shots to quell an anti-Indian demonstration in India-controlled Kashmir, officials said.

The protest demonstration broke out in Chanpora area of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

Reports pouring in from the area said a large number of people took to the streets in response to separatist call for a march. The people shouting anti-India and pro-freedom slogans were impeded by a posse of police and India's paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers, thereby triggering a clash.

While police fired tear smoke shells and warning shots, the protesters were seen hurling stone and brick pieces on the contingents of police and paramilitary troopers.

All the injured have been removed to the hospital for treatment; however of them condition of a 22-year-old Mohammed Iqbal Khan is stated to be critical.

Soon after the news about police firing spread in the city, hundreds of people from other localities took to the streets to stage protests.

Meanwhile, authorities fearing spreading of clashes Friday re- imposed curfew in several parts of city.

The strict restrictions were enforced by thousands of policemen and India's paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel deployed along the streets and roads of Srinagar city in full riot gear.

The restrictions also hit Friday afternoon congregational prayers in the grand mosque (Jamia Masjid) of Srinagar city for the fifth consecutive Friday.

The head priest of Jamia Masjid, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has been placed under house arrest. Farooq is also a known moderate separatist leader of the region.

Protests triggered in the region last month after a 17-year-old youth was killed in police action on June 11. The killing was followed by 16 more mostly of teenagers over a month in similar actions.

@ Brother hood:

Brother as u can see we (Indian state) are not able to contain the Kashmiris from protesting against us.

So ,keeping in mind the burgeoning trade and relative peace between our two countries, please suggest some methods that we can employ to repress this people just like ur country did in Tibet and Xinjiang..

I will be grateful for ur help.

 

[Tshering22]

Ahh the peaceful lovely stone pelters at it again. I think our CRPF guys must be used to them by now. .

 

[somya]

Massive looks very well in the picture. These 10-15 guys, one can easily arrange by paying Rs 500.

No sensible Kashmiri would support it. They are confused, but believe me they do not support You.

 

[Fireurimagination]

The administration still has not figured out, how to effectively deal with this stone throwers, IMO the Jammu and Kashmir government should inact and pass a strong law such as MCOCA in Maharashtra in the assembly, use CCTV camera to record hooligans, arrest a dozen or so and convict them withing 15 days, this will dis-courage this people from taking law in to there hands
