Srinagar: In an ongoing crackdown against narcotics trafficking, Jammu and Kashmir Police have attached a residential property in Shopian believed to be acquired using proceeds from illegal drug activities.
The property, a double-storey house valued at ₹23,05,244 with a plinth area of 6 Marla under Survey No. 1169 min, belongs to Mohd Rafiq Ganie, a resident of Hermain, Shopian, a police spokesperson said in a statement issued here.
He said the property was obtained through money earned from the sale of illegal drugs. Ganie has been previously involved in multiple narcotics cases, including FIR No. 26/2020 registered at Police Station Shopian and FIR No. 85/2022 at Police Station Heerpora.
The attachment was carried out in the presence of a police team, an Executive Magistrate, Lambardar, and Chowkidar, ensuring adherence to all legal procedures, police said, adding that this action is part of their broader efforts to dismantle narcotics networks and confiscate assets linked to illegal drug trade.
Police said they are committed to combating drug-related crimes and urged the public to assist authorities by reporting any information related to narcotics activities. “The attached property will be further processed as per legal protocols, with the aim of depriving traffickers of their ill-gotten gains,” the spokesperson added.
