Srinagar Police on Monday attached immovable properties worth approximately ₹4 crore in separate actions under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, intensifying efforts to target the financial infrastructure allegedly linked to narcotics trafficking in the Valley.
The action forms part of the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyaan, under which law enforcement agencies have increasingly focused on identifying and attaching assets suspected to have been acquired through proceeds generated from the illegal drug trade.
In one of the major actions, Police Station Sangam attached assets worth around ₹3 crore belonging to Gulam Ahmad Dar of Srinagar in connection with a case registered under the NDPS Act earlier this year.
The attached assets include a residential house, land and commercial shops. According to police, investigation into the case indicated that the properties were allegedly acquired through proceeds generated from narcotics-related activities.
In another action, Police Station Nowhatta attached a residential property valued at approximately ₹1 crore belonging to Mohd Shafi Sheikh in connection with a narcotics case registered in 2018.
Police said the property was identified during investigation as an asset allegedly acquired through proceeds linked to the illegal drug trade.
Officials said the attachments were carried out under provisions of the NDPS Act aimed at preventing the concealment, transfer or disposal of properties suspected to have been generated through unlawful activities.
