Budgam, May 15, 2026: Continuing its intensified drive against narcotics trafficking under the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan, Budgam Police on Thursday attached properties worth nearly ₹80 lakhs belonging to two alleged drug peddlers in the Chadoora area of central Kashmir’s Budgam district.
According to police officials, a one-storey residential house valued at approximately ₹30 lakhs belonging to Ghulam Nabi Wani, son of Ghulam Mohammad Wani and resident of Chitroo Dangarpora Chadoora, was attached in connection with FIR No. 181/2025 registered under Sections 8/20/29 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Chadoora.
During investigation of the case last year, police had reportedly recovered more than 300 kilograms of Poppy Husk/Fukki from the premises. Investigators stated that the property was allegedly acquired through proceeds generated from illegal narcotics trafficking and was being used for storage, processing, and distribution of contraband substances.
In another major action, Budgam Police attached a two-storeyed residential house worth around ₹50 to ₹55 lakhs belonging to Mohd Hashim Raina, son of Abdul Samad and resident of Hassipora Chadoora.
The property was attached in connection with FIR No. 35/2026 registered under Sections 8/20 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Chadoora.
Officials said that during investigation of the case last month, police recovered over 9 kilograms of a Charas-like substance from a band saw mill located in Kasermulla village of Chadoora.
Police stated that both actions were carried out under relevant provisions of the NDPS Act as part of sustained efforts to dismantle narcotics networks and seize assets created through the illegal drug trade.
Budgam Police reiterated its commitment towards eliminating the drug menace from society and warned that stringent legal action would continue against individuals involved in narcotics trafficking and related unlawful activities.
