SRINAGAR: In a major crackdown on the financial infrastructure of narcotics trafficking under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, Srinagar Police have attached two immovable properties worth approximately ₹1.05 crore belonging to two notorious drug peddlers. The action was carried out by Police Station Rainawari under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, reaffirming the commitment of Jammu and Kashmir Police to dismantle the drug network by targeting assets acquired through illicit narcotics trade.
The attached properties belong to Zahoor Ahmad Sheikh son of Late Ghulam Hassan Sheikh resident of Tujgari Mohalla, Nowhatta and Bilal Ahmad Kand son of Ghulam Hyder Kand resident of Kand Mohalla, Dal, Rainawari.
An immovable property of Zahoor Ahmad Sheikh, comprising a three-storeyed residential house constructed on 05 marlas of land situated at Tujgari Mohalla, Srinagar, with an estimated market value of approximately ₹65 lakh, has been attached in connection with FIR No. 59/2019 under Section 8/20 NDPS Act of Police Station Rainawari.
The accused is also involved in FIR No. 11/2018 under Section 8/20 NDPS Act and FIR No. 41/2021 under Sections 8/20 NDPS Act and 48 Excise Act registered at Police Station Nowhatta.
An immovable property of Bilal Ahmad Kand comprising 05 marlas of land along with a single-storeyed temporary structure erected thereon at Kand Mohalla, Rainawari, having an estimated value of approximately ₹40 lakh, has been attached in connection with FIR No. 36/2022 under Section 8/20 NDPS Act of Police Station Rainawari.
Both properties have been attached under the provisions of Section 68-F of the NDPS Act after being identified as illegally acquired assets generated through proceeds of narcotics trafficking and drug peddling.
By targeting the economic backbone of drug traffickers, Srinagar Police are sending a strong message that crime will not pay and that illegally acquired assets will be traced and confiscated in accordance with the law.
J&K Police remain steadfast in their resolve to eradicate the menace of drugs from society and appeal to the public to continue supporting the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan by sharing any information related to drug trafficking or narcotics-related activities.
