In a landmark judgment, the Poonch District Court convicted three individuals involved in smuggling contraband goods through the Jammu and Kashmir-Pakistan border. The accused were found guilty of trafficking narcotics, electronics, and other restricted items under the guise of cross-border trade. The court handed down sentences ranging from five to seven years of imprisonment, with fines imposed on the convicts. The verdict comes after months of investigation by local authorities, who worked closely with national security agencies to dismantle the smuggling ring.
District Judge Raghav Mehta expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, emphasizing the importance of strict law enforcement in maintaining the region’s security and peace. The case has sparked renewed discussions on strengthening border security measures in the region.
