Jammu and Kashmir Police Attach Properties Worth Over Rs 1 Crore Linked to Drug PeddlersPreviousNext

As part of the Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan, Srinagar's Rainawari police attached immovable properties worth approximately Rs 1.05 crore belonging to two alleged drug peddlers, Zahoor Ahmad Sheikh and Bilal Ahmad Kand. The properties, including a three-storeyed house and land with a temporary structure, were seized under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act for being linked to narcotics trafficking proceeds. The action reflects ongoing efforts to dismantle drug networks by targeting illicit assets.
