In another action, the Kralkhud police station attached a single-storey residential house worth Rs 70 lakh belonging to Ghulam Hassan Bhat, who is involved in an FIR registered under Sections 8, 20 and 29 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Kralkhud. The property has been attached under Section 68F of the NDPS Act, 1985.
The accused is presently out on bail. The attachment order has been submitted to the competent authority, SAFEMA, New Delhi, for further proceedings. Under the order, the owner is prohibited from selling, leasing, transferring, altering, or creating any third-party interest in the property, police said.
According to the police, the investigation established that the attached properties were acquired through proceeds generated from illicit narcotics trafficking. The attachment of such properties is aimed at dismantling the financial infrastructure of drug networks and preventing offenders from benefiting from illegal activities.
Srinagar Police reiterated its commitment to eradicating the menace of drug abuse and trafficking and said it would continue to take stringent action against those involved in narcotics-related crimes. The public has been urged to support the police by sharing information related to drug peddling and substance abuse, thereby contributing towards a drug-free society. (ANI)
