BARAMULLA: Continuing its sustained crackdown against drug trafficking, police in Baramulla have attached a vehicle (Alto-800) bearing registration number JK05K-7701, linked to drug trafficking case.

The vehicle is linked to Abdul Ahad Magray son of Gh. Mohi-ud-Din Magray resident of Sharai, who is involved in FIR No. 55/2014 U/S 8/15 NDPS Act, 48 Excise Act of PS Kunzer and FIR No. 74/2024 U/S 8/18-29 NDPS Act.

During investigation, it surfaced that the said vehicle had been purchased from proceeds generated through the illicit sale of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. In order to conceal the actual ownership, the vehicle was registered in the name of his son.

Pertinently, Abdul Ahad Magray is a habitual offender involved in drug peddling, whose repeated illegal activities have contributed to the spread of drug abuse, particularly among the youth, posing a serious threat to society.

The attachment of the vehicle sends a strong message that Police is committed to dismantling the drug network and depriving offenders of assets acquired through illegal means. Police reiterate its resolve to continue strict action against drug peddlers and appeals to the general public to cooperate in eradicating the menace of drugs.
