Illegal Properties Demolished and Drug-Related Arrests Made in Jammu and KashmirPreviousNext

Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district demolished an illegally constructed commercial property belonging to drug peddler Karan Pathi, who encroached on state land. Police also attached property of another drug peddler, Shubam Prashar, and seized a car linked to narcotics activities. Multiple arrests were made across the region, including individuals found with charas and heroin-like substances. Financial investigations led to freezing bank accounts worth about Rs 19 lakh connected to drug trafficking, with further asset tracing ongoing.
