Sonbhadra superintendent of police (SP) Abhishek Verma said after approval from SAFEMA Court, Delhi, the immovable properties of Bhola at Bharlai in Shivpur and Jagdishpur in the Pindra area of Varanasi were forfeited under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. As Shubham and his aides, including Nishant and Vijay, are still absconding, a team of Sonbhadra police reached Varanasi following a proclamation order issued by the court of the Special Judge and posted notices at their residences. These notices stated, “In case of non-appearance by Feb 27, action to forfeit movable and immovable properties will be taken.” Properties worth over Rs 44 crore of Shubham’s father, who is currently lodged in jail following his arrest from Kolkata airport in Nov 2025, and their close aide Manoj Yadav have already been forfeited.
