The attachment has been made in connection with FIR No. 23/2026 of Police Station Sopore, after a detailed financial investigation revealed that the properties had been acquired through proceeds generated from illicit narcotics trafficking. The attachment proceedings were executed in the presence of independent witnesses in accordance with the provisions of the NDPS Act.
