In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, Shopian Police has attached a double-storey residential house valued at ₹22.17 lakh and seized cash amounting to ₹14.52 lakh, belonging to three notorious drug peddlers—Mudasir Ahmad Malik, Yawer Ahmad Malik, and Shahid Ul Islam Malik, sons of Gh. Mohd Malik, residents of Melhura, Zainapora.
The action was taken under Section 68-E read with 68-F(1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, as part of the ongoing anti-narcotics drive in the district.
The attachment is linked to FIR No. 54/2021 and FIR No. 87/2023 registered at Police Station Zainapora. The operation was carried out in the presence of a duly constituted police team and the Executive Magistrate, ensuring full compliance with legal procedures.
During the investigation, the property was identified as illegally acquired, with evidence suggesting it was purchased using proceeds from narcotics trafficking.
This decisive action underscores Shopian Police’s commitment to eradicating the drug menace from the district. The local community has welcomed the move, appreciating law enforcement’s efforts to curb illicit drug-related activities.
