Northern Police Freeze About ₹6.27 Crore in Assets Linked to Drug Cases

Authorities are using NDPS Act attachment orders to block properties they say were bought with drug proceeds as a way to break traffickers’ financial networks.

Overview

  • Police in Shimla, Srinagar, Jammu and Rajouri announced on Friday that they have seized or attached assets totaling about ₹6.27 crore in separate NDPS investigations.
  • Shimla district police said they confiscated roughly ₹2.28 crore in two cases after financial probes found 16 vehicles, two flats and a house that investigators say were bought with drug proceeds.
  • Srinagar police attached four immovable properties valued at about ₹3.34 crore under Section 68F of the NDPS Act and served attachment orders that bar sale or transfer without authority permission.
  • Jammu and Rajouri units attached roughly ₹65 lakh of assets that include cash, a Mahindra Scorpio-N, a Royal Enfield and a residential house which investigators say were acquired from narcotics proceeds.
  • Officials say these actions form part of Nasha Mukt anti-drug drives and use interim NDPS attachment powers to freeze suspected illicit assets while legal adjudication and possible forfeiture proceed.
