Authorities Freeze Over Rs 3 Crore in Assets Linked to Drug Trafficking NetworksPreviousNext

Police in Solan, Fatehabad, and Dabwali have frozen assets worth over Rs 3.39 crore linked to drug trafficking networks. Investigations revealed that accused individuals, including Hemant Sharma and others, invested proceeds from drug sales in properties, land, and bank accounts, despite declared incomes not matching asset values. Authorities are focusing on dismantling financial networks behind drug operations by identifying and freezing assets acquired through illicit means under the NDPS Act.
