In a significant crackdown against drug trafficking, Jammu and Kashmir Police have attached five residential houses and three vehicles valued at over Rs 4 crore in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district. The action was taken under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
According to a police statement, the properties belong to individuals involved in drug peddling. The houses are owned by Reyaz Ahmad Dar (son of Mohammad Ramzan Dar), Mohammad Yousuf Reshi (son of Ali Mohammad Reshi), Subzar Ahmad Mir (son of Sonaullah Mir), Mohammad Shafi Dar (son of Mohammad Maqbool Dar), and Abdul Hamid Chopan, all residents of Anantnag.
The vehicles attached include a Santro car registered in the name of Mohammad Shafi Dar, a WagonR owned by Manzoor Ahmad Mantoo, and a Toyota Corolla. These actions are part of ongoing efforts to curb drug-related activities in the region and dismantle the financial network of drug cartels operating in the area.
The police have emphasized that such measures are crucial for tackling the growing menace of drug abuse in Kashmir, aiming to create a deterrent for those involved in illicit activities. The operation has received widespread support from local communities.
