The Jammu and Kashmir administration has sacked six government officials, including policemen, for their involvement in terror financing through drug sales. The decision was taken after an investigation against the accused revealed that they were involved in a narco-terrorist network run by Pakistan ISI and terror organizations operating from the neighboring country.

The personnel found to be part of the narco-terrorist network have been identified as Head Constable Farooq Ahmed Sheikh, Constable Khalid Hussain Shah, Constable Rehmat Shah, Constable Irshad Ahmed Chalaku, Najam Din (teacher) and Constable Saif Din.

With these dismissals, eight employees have been dismissed within a month for involvement in narco-terrorist activities.

Last month, four employees working in the Union Territory were sacked for having 'links with terror organizations' and anti-national activities.
