J&K Police Expand Hospital Locker Inspections Across Valley, Extend Checks to Fertiliser Shops and Car Dealers

Police say the expanded checks are preventive following an earlier AK-47 recovery from a doctor's locker.

Overview

  • Fresh inspections were reported Friday in Ganderbal and Kupwara’s GMC Handwara, building on earlier drives in Anantnag, Shopian and Doda.
  • Srinagar teams reviewed chemical and fertiliser outlets and car showrooms for record-keeping, licensing and purchaser verification.
  • Doda Police said searches at GMC Doda and Sub-District Hospital Bhaderwah found nothing incriminating.
  • The measures are tied to an inter-state probe into a suspected “white-collar” module linked to the Red Fort car blast that killed 15.
  • In a separate operation in Kupwara’s Nowgam sector, security forces said they uncovered a hideout and seized rifles, pistols, grenades and live rounds.
