Chümoukedima, April 5 (MExN): Naga Tribal Union Chümoukedima (NTUC) has lauded the Director General of Police, Nagaland, Rupin Sharma and his entire team for taking all the initiatives in arresting the drug kingpin, Bahar Uddin and his associates on March 23, 2024 along with the coordination of Assam police at Sonitpur, Assam.
“Bahar Uddin, who is also the president of New Market Jama Masjid has brought shame and frustration to the Muslim community of Nagaland in particular and the whole of Muslim community in general for selling “sunflower” and other drugs in Northeast. Such an act should be condemned not only by the Muslim community but by the Nagas in general,” stated a press release issued by NTUC President, I Nungsang Jamir and general Secretary, Kevisato Nguzhülie.
NTUC stated that ‘A man of his caliber who has no heart but greed for money and lust for personal gain in smuggling and selling illicit drugs to the youths and teenagers should not be granted bail whatsoever.’
“He should be given the outmost stringent punishment for the untimely death and putting at risk on the life of so many youngsters by luring them to buy and consume this dreaded “Sunflower” and other drugs,” it appealed.
NTUC also said, “A host of our Naga generation was already lost in the early 80s where so many intelligent and promising youths were murdered and almost annihilated by drug. Now, we cannot allow that to happen again especially when we have the main culprit apprehended and put behind bars.”
Therefore, it urged the law enforcement agencies not to grant him bail at any cost and also appealed the law agencies not to entertain any person in granting bail to such a person whose sole interest lies in wrecking the society apart for his rightful place is behind bars never to see the light of the day again.”
