During the course of investigation, it was conclusively established that the said property had been acquired through illicit proceeds generated from drug trafficking. Accordingly, the property was attached under the provisions of Section 68-F of the NDPS Act. The attachment proceedings were carried out strictly in accordance with due legal procedure and in the presence of independent witnesses. As per the attachment order, the owner has been prohibited from selling, leasing, transferring, or creating any third-party interest in the property until further orders.
