Srinagar, June 9: In a bold demonstration of unwavering integrity, Jammu and Kashmir Police has disengaged Special Police Officer (SPO) Khalid Nazir Khan (ID: 3098) with immediate effect following his involvement in a narcotics case—a move hailed as a testament to the force’s uncompromising commitment to discipline.

The action follows a routine naka check on April 23, 2026, at Wussan Crossing by Kunzer Police Station, where Khan and others in an Alto vehicle were found in a suspicious state. Police recovered syringes, needles, and drug-consumption foil from the vehicle, prompting FIR No. 46/2026 under Sections 8/27/29 of the NDPS Act.

“The conduct was gravely unbecoming of a disciplined officer,” stated the police, emphasizing that Khan’s actions violated the core ethos of the force. The department reiterated its zero-tolerance stance, declaring, “This exemplary step underscores our pledge to uphold the highest standards of accountability and public trust.”

The swift disengagement, finalized just days before the June 9 announcement, has been widely praised as a model for law enforcement globally, reinforcing J&K Police’s reputation as a beacon of ethical rigor in the fight against drug abuse.
