HANDWARA: In its continuous drive against the menace of drug trafficking, Police in Handwara attached a residential house belonging to a notorious drug peddler Mohd Akbar Malik son of Mohd Abdullah Malik resident of Guloora Langate. The action was taken in connection with Case FIR No. 31/2022 under sections 8/20 of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station Handwara.

The attached property, identified as proceeds of crime derived from narcotic trade, has been seized under relevant legal provisions. This decisive step reflects the firm commitment of Police to decimate drug peddling networks and dismantle their financial gains. By targeting and attaching properties acquired through illicit means, police aim to deliver a strong message of deterrence to those involved in drug trafficking. Police reiterates that pecuniary gains from drug trafficking will remain prime targets of law enforcement, leaving no room for such illicit activities to flourish.
