KABUL: The Ministry of Interior’s Counter-Narcotics Department says that during an operation in the 17th district of the capital Kabul, a drug dealer was arrested.
According to a statement from the department, the personnel of the Counter-Narcotics Department, conducting an operation, detained the suspect with 1,156 drug pills, 78 grams of hashish (charras), and 22 grams of “glass” (meth/ice-type substance).
His case will be transferred to judicial organs for further investigations.
Since the Islamic Emirate’s return to power, the government has imposed a strict ban across Afghanistan on the trafficking, sale, and any business related to narcotics, and in the past nearly five years, hundreds of drug dealers have been arrested nationwide.
