Overview
- Kathua police formally attached immovable properties valued at about ₹7.35 crore linked to two detained drug peddlers after investigations identified the assets as likely bought with drug proceeds.
- Srinagar police carried out parallel attachment proceedings that seized nearly ₹5 crore in residential properties tied to alleged traffickers as part of the same enforcement push.
- Smaller attachment actions reported across Doda, Kulgam, Shopian and Baramulla brought additional assets worth around ₹1 crore into police custody under NDPS provisions.
- Officials say the seizures were executed under sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act during formal proceedings with revenue officials and magistrates, a step that allows freezes and possible forfeiture but can be contested in court.
- Police framed the operations as part of the Nasha Mukt J‑K Abhiyan campaign and urged the public to share information by phone to help identify further assets and suspects while communities in affected areas expressed support for the actions.
