JAMMU: India’s security agencies are fully prepared to take on narco-terror operatives and their handlers head-on, and the nation will not be intimidated by Pakistan-sponsored conspiracies, said senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Raman Suri, asserting that New India under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah is resolute and capable of dealing with such threats.
Addressing growing concerns over the changing tactics of Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, Raman Suri said that desperate in appearance but dangerous in intent, the enemy has now expanded its terror ecosystem by increasingly using women as instruments of narco-terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. After repeated failures in conventional terrorism, the ISI is now attempting to weaken India from within by flooding the region with drugs, particularly by exploiting women as operatives.
Suri pointed out that these women are no longer limited to acting as carriers of drugs or weapons. “In many cases, they are running entire trafficking networks, coordinating couriers, and acting as key links between handlers across the border and local modules within the country,” he said. He referred to the recent arrest of Tamanna Ashraf in Srinagar, who was operating a drug trafficking network with links to multiple cities across India. In another major breakthrough, security forces in Kupwara, close to the Line of Control, arrested Muniba Begum of Bandipora along with an accomplice, recovering a large quantity of heroin that had originated from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He also recalled the October 2025 arrests in Shopian, where two women were apprehended with a sizable consignment of hashish and marijuana.
“Female drug smugglers are now being arrested almost daily in Jammu, Samba, and Kathua districts. This clearly indicates a well-orchestrated cross-border conspiracy rather than isolated criminal acts,” Raman Suri said, adding that security agencies are maintaining constant surveillance and tightening the noose around such networks. Quoting official data, Suri noted that in 2025, Jammu and Kashmir Police registered around 1,100 cases under the NDPS Act, leading to the arrest of nearly 1,400 individuals. Of these, 204 FIRs were registered in Jammu district alone, with 35 women among the 311 arrested accused.
“These numbers expose how narco-terrorism is being deliberately weaponised to destroy our youth and destabilise society,” he warned. Explaining the modus operandi, Raman Suri said intelligence inputs suggest that women are being deliberately chosen by ISI handlers because they attract less suspicion at checkpoints. “Most checkpoints are manned by male personnel, and routine questioning of women is often limited. Investigations have also revealed that many women operate in connivance with their husbands or family members, making detection more complex,” he said.
Raman Suri urged civil society, parents, educational institutions, and community leaders to remain alert and cooperate with security agencies. “This is not just a law-and-order issue; it is a national security threat. Every suspicious movement, every attempt to lure youth into drugs must be reported and stopped,” he said. Raman Suri asserted that New India will not allow Pakistan’s ISI to succeed in its narco-terror agenda and whether it is the handler across the border or the network within, they will all be identified and neutralised.
