Pulwama, Jun 12: Continuing its sustained crackdown against drug trafficking and its financial networks, police in Pulwama have attached a single-storey residential house worth Rs 15.85 lakh belonging to a drug peddler involved in an NDPS case, officials said.
The attached property belongs to Shabir Ahmad Khan, son of Ghulam Qadir Khan, a resident of Karnabal Samboora, Kakapora. During the course of the investigation, the property was found to be an illegally acquired asset, raised through proceeds of illicit narcotic trafficking and disproportionate to the known sources of income of the accused, a police spokesperson said in a statement issued here.
“The action has been taken under the provisions of Sections 68-E and 68-F of the NDPS Act, 1985, in connection with FIR No. 38/2024 under Section 8/20 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Kakapora,” the spokesperson said. “The attachment forms part of ongoing efforts of Pulwama Police to target assets created through the proceeds of drug trafficking and dismantle the financial infrastructure sustaining the narcotics trade.”
J&K Police said they remain committed to taking stringent action against drug peddlers and other elements involved in narcotics-related activities, aiming “not only to bring offenders to justice but also to deprive them of illegal gains generated through drug trafficking”.
