Shocking Drug Network Exposed in Peshawar: What You Need to Know
In recent news, Peshawar police have uncovered a disturbing narcotics network that had been operating for eight long years. This women-led gang was not just any ordinary group; they were directly targeting the youth of the city, including students and social media influencers, with a range of dangerous drugs like ice, heroin, and hashish-laced cigarettes.
Imagine a scene where young college-goers and street vendors are approached in bustling market areas, all unaware of the peril that awaits them. The gang, made up of five women, would sell these illicit substances for as low as Rs300, making drugs alarmingly accessible to vulnerable individuals.
The gang’s modus operandi was chillingly clever. They blended into everyday life, disguising themselves as typical citizens to operate unnoticed. According to CCPO Dr. Mian Saeed, who led the police operation, “They targeted the youth to ruin their future by luring them into addiction.” Each member of this gang reportedly earned up to Rs10,000 daily, indicating just how lucrative this covert operation was.
Worryingly, records reveal that many of these women had prior criminal histories but somehow managed to slip back into their old ways after serving minimal sentences. The gang often set up shop near educational institutions, especially during school and college hours, making it easy for students to purchase drugs without raising suspicion.
The alarming rise in drug use among students has left parents and educators on edge. Authorities are urging the community to stay alert and report any suspicious activities. Dr. Saeed emphasized a commitment to cleaning up Peshawar, stating, “After tackling the city’s land-grabbing mafias, Peshawar will not be a safe haven for drug dealers.”
This unsettling case serves as a reminder of the challenges communities face when dealing with drug abuse, especially among the youth. As this story unfolds, it highlights the importance of vigilance from both families and educators in safeguarding the future of young individuals.
