A 33-year-old notorious criminal, arrested last week in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir after a long hunt, has been charged under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) and sent to jail, police said today.
Mohammad Hussain, a resident of Manohar Gopala who was wanted in nearly a dozen cases, was arrested from Basanter area on July 10 and was sent to sub-jail Hiranagar in Kathua district yesterday, a police spokesman said.
He said Hussain was the mastermind behind all organised crimes in Samba such as drug smuggling and cattle theft.
A total of 11 cases, mostly related to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, are registered against him in the district," the spokesman said.
