Dharamsala, June 5

“Pornography and cocaine workshop. Learn how to snort cocaine, watch pornography, assess your inner misogynist, talk about yourself constantly, objectify the opposite sex and grow spiritually.”

A poster that has come up in Dharamkot near Dharamsala on Tuesday invites only men to participate in a camp to be organised on June 8 from 10 pm to 6 am in lower Dharamkot.

The poster claims that the camp will be free of cost but the participants should donate Rs 10,000. It also carries the photo of Pablo Escobar, a drug lord of Colombia, who was infamous for controlling the cocaine supply in the world at one time.

It has left the police on tenterhooks and they are trying to locate its author. SP Santosh Patial said, “We have sent a police team to Dharamkot.” The poster has again brought to the fore the issue of drug abuse in Dharamsala.

Sources in the police said it was surprising that people were being invited to snort cocaine. The drug is smuggled from South American countries. In 2017, the Kangra police had registered over 200 cases under the NDPS Act in Kangra district.
