In his inaugural speech Sr. Superintendent of Police Handwara highlighted the objective of this workshop and underscored it’s importance to enhance and hone up investigative skills of officers and various SOP’s issued from time to time to be adopted while investigating NDPS Act cases. During the work shop case studies on various conviction as well as acquittals cases were discussed at length and breadth. The Sr. Prosecuting officer also discussed the provisions of NDPS Act in detail with the participants and stressed upon adherence of all the relevant sections and SOP’s already in place to ensure that no lacunas are left which otherwise might prove fatal for securing convictions.
At the conclusion, Sr. Superintendent of Police Handwara Shri Mushtaq Ahmad-JKPS, expressed hope that all the officers and I.O’s investigating the NDPS cases will put in all efforts to investigate cases in a highly professional manner, so that no lacunas are left which will give accused persons chance to get acquittal as has been seen in the previous such cases and to enhance the conviction rates of these cases.
