In a continued effort against terrorism, police recently apprehended a fraudster who had accepted a bribe from a suspect for the release of his mobile phone from police custody.

Authorities also recently shut down dental clinics in the Pulwama district operating without the necessary licenses and in unsanitary conditions.
Local reports indicate that the banned psychotropic drug, heroin, is being distributed to addicts in the Valley, with police having seized adulterated samples of such drugs.
Parents have been urged through local media and by religious leaders to monitor their children closely, as anti-social and anti-national forces are trying to lure them into drug use and potentially terrorism.
