The encroached land was found under the illegal occupation of Showket Ahmad Khatana son of Kammar-U-Din Khatana, who is involved in FIR No. 234/2025 under Sections 8/20 NDPS Act registered at Police Station Handwara. Acting firmly against individuals involved in narcotics-related activities and unlawful encroachments, the joint team carried out the retrieval operation after completing all necessary legal procedures.

Authorities have reiterated that strict measures will continue against drug peddlers, their illegal assets, and encroachments to ensure a safer and drug-free society. Police appeals to the public to actively support the Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyan by sharing information regarding drug abuse, trafficking, and illegal activities in their areas.
