Srinagar, May 09: Continuing its sustained crackdown against drug trafficking under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, Srinagar Police has attached immovable properties worth over Rs 3.50 crore belonging to three notorious drug peddlers involved in multiple cases under the NDPS Act.

Property worth approximately Rs 80 lakh belonging to hardcore drug peddler Shahid Mushtaq Dar, son of Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, a resident of Barthana, Qamarwari, was attached under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, a police spokesperson said in a statement issued here. The property was found to have been acquired through proceeds generated from illicit drug trafficking activities.

"Police Station Nowgam attached property belonging to drug peddler Mehrajuddin Ganie, son of Mohammad Ismail Ganie, a resident of Wagoora, involved in FIR No. 156/2025 under Sections 8/20 of the NDPS Act. The attached property comprises 18 marlas of land, one single-storey residential building, and one cowshed situated under Survey No. 273 at Wagoora, Tehsil BK Pora, valued at approximately Rs 1.50 crore. Investigations revealed that the property had been procured through the proceeds of the illicit drug trade," the spokesperson said.

He added, "In connection with FIR No. 08/2026 under Sections 8/21 and 29 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Saddar Srinagar, a double-storey residential house worth approximately Rs 1.20 crore belonging to accused drug peddler Tawqeer Ahmad Mir, son of late Feroz-u-Din Mir, a resident of Rawathpora, Baghat Barzulla, was attached under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act in the presence of the Executive Magistrate Chanapora and independent witnesses."

These actions reflect the firm commitment of Srinagar Police towards dismantling the financial infrastructure of drug networks and ensuring that properties acquired through narcotics trade are identified and confiscated strictly as per law, the spokesperson said.

Srinagar Police said they are committed to continuing a relentless drive against the drug menace and appealed to the general public to cooperate in eradicating drugs from society and making Jammu and Kashmir drug-free.
