In a decisive strike against the narcotics menace in Jammu and Kashmir, the Srinagar Police have executed a massive recovery operation, attaching four immovable properties valued at a staggering ₹3,34,51,957. This stringent action was carried out under the provisions of Section 68F of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, marking a significant escalation in the fight against organized drug trafficking.

Details of the Seized Assets

The investigation, spearheaded by the Safakadal Police Station, revealed that these assets were illegally acquired using the proceeds from the sale of narcotics. The attached properties include high-value residential structures across various estates:

  • Nawakadal: A premium three-storey residential house belonging to Adnan Lateef Sheikh, valued at approximately ₹1.19 crore.
  • Palpora: A single-storey residence owned by Danyal Ahmad Bisati, valued at over ₹1.18 crore.
  • Barthana: A double-storey house belonging to Shahid Gul, with an estimated value of ₹71.31 lakh.
  • Goripora: A residential property owned by Adil Ahmad Mir, valued at ₹25 lakh.

The authorities have issued strict legal notices to the owners, prohibiting any sale, mortgage, lease, or transfer of these properties to third parties without explicit permission from the competent legal authority.

Dismantling the Financial Backbone of Crime

This operation is a core component of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan – 100 Days Campaign. Law enforcement experts suggest that the shift from mere arrests to asset attachment is a strategic evolution. By targeting the financial infrastructure of drug networks, the police aim to render the narcotics trade economically unviable. The Srinagar Police have reiterated their unwavering commitment to building a drug-free society and have urged the public to act as vigilant partners in this crusade by reporting suspicious activities to the local authorities.
