Minors' role in drug cases on the rise in Kerala
The Morning Standard
|March 31, 2025
AS Kerala grapples with growing drug menace, the rise in involvement of minors in drug trafficking and drug abuse cases has baffled enforcement agencies.
AS Kerala grapples with growing drug menace, the rise in involvement of minors in drug trafficking and drug abuse cases has baffled enforcement agencies. The trend, they say, indicates peddlers are deliberately targeting school students.
According to the excise department, 170 minors have been caught for the smuggling and trading of drugs since 2022. The officials report a surge in cases registered against minors under the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act since 2022. It rose from 23 NDPS cases in 2021 to 40 in 2022. In 2023, as many as 39 NDPS cases were registered against minors. In 2024, this rose to 55 cases. This year, alarmingly, 36 NDPS cases have already been registered against minors in the first two months.
