Srinagar Police Attach Rs 3.5 Crore in Assets in Escalating J&K Anti-Drug Drive

The seizures aim to cut alleged drug finances under a 100-day campaign that officials link to terror funding.

Overview

  • Srinagar Police attached immovable property worth about Rs 3.5 crore under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, including houses and land in Kreshbal, Noorbagh tied to FIR 56/2025.
  • The action follows Thursday’s demolition of three houses in Jammu’s Rajiv Nagar that officials said were built with drug money.
  • District authorities also tore down more properties in the Miran Sahib belt, including homes linked to arrested brothers Sunny and Sandeep Sharma and a site tied to Dilbagh Singh, and cleared temporary hutments on state land.
  • Police expanded field operations in the Valley by uprooting opium poppy in Pulwama, Ganderbal, Budgam and Kulgam and by issuing 24-hour ultimatums to landowners with NDPS cases filed when crops were not removed.
  • Officials frame the crackdown as the 100-day Drug-Free J&K drive, with the lieutenant governor urging public backing and police asserting that narcotics proceeds fund terrorism and are pushed across the border from Pakistan.
