Continuing its sustained crackdown against drug trafficking under the ongoing ‘Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan’, Police in Srinagar on Saturday said that it attached immovable properties worth approximately Rs 3.5 crore belonging to two notorious drug peddlers under the provisions of the NDPS Act.
In the first action, Police Station Nigeen attached a double-storeyed residential house along with land worth approximately Rs 1.30 crore at Habbak Crossing, Hazratbal, belonging to Rahil Manzoor Malla, in connection with an FIR registered in 2021 under Section 8/21 of the NDPS Act.
In a separate action, Police Station Soura attached a residential house worth around Rs 2.20 crore belonging to Adil Rashid Gudoo of Keel Khan Gali, Upper Soura, under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act.
Police said both properties were identified during investigation as illegally acquired assets generated through proceeds of drug trafficking.
The attachment orders prohibit the owners from selling, transferring, leasing, alienating, altering, disposing of, or creating any third-party interest in the said properties pending further legal proceedings.
Police said these actions reflect J&K Police’s unwavering commitment to dismantling the narcotics ecosystem by targeting both drug traffickers and the illegally acquired assets generated through the drug trade.
“Such stringent measures form an integral part of the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, aimed at safeguarding society, particularly the youth, from the menace of drugs and realizing the vision of a drug-free Kashmir,” Police said.
