SRINAGAR, July 25, 2026 : Continuing its intensified crackdown on the narcotics trade under the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, Srinagar Police on Saturday attached two immovable properties worth approximately ₹1.35 crore belonging to alleged drug peddlers under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
According to an official police statement, the first property attached is a double-storeyed residential house located at Nadir Gund, Pir Bagh, Hyderpora, Srinagar, valued at nearly ₹70 lakh. The property belongs to Aqib Farooq, son of Farooq Ahmad, a resident of Nadir Gund, Pir Bagh, Hyderpora. The attachment has been made in connection with FIR No. 16/2025 registered under Section 8/21 of the NDPS Act.
In a separate operation, Police Station Rainawari attached a single-storeyed residential house built on five marlas of land at Inderhama Gassu, Batapora, Hazratbal, Srinagar, valued at approximately ₹65 lakh. The property belongs to Azan Parvaiz Giltsaaz, son of Parvaiz Ahmad Giltsaaz, originally a resident of Kani Mohalla, Rainawari, and presently residing at Inderhama Gassu, Batapora, Hazratbal. The action was taken in connection with FIR No. 09/2023 registered under Sections 8/21/29 of the NDPS Act.
Police said investigations established that both properties were allegedly acquired through the proceeds of drug trafficking and the illegal narcotics trade. Consequently, the assets have been attached under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, including Section 68-F, subject to confirmation by the Competent Authority.
Officials stated that the attachments form part of Srinagar Police’s sustained strategy to dismantle the financial infrastructure of narcotics networks by identifying, tracing, and confiscating assets generated through illegal drug trafficking. The objective, they said, is to deprive offenders of the financial benefits of criminal activities while sending a strong message that involvement in the narcotics trade will invite stringent legal and financial action.
Reaffirming its commitment to the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, Srinagar Police said it will continue to take firm action against drug peddlers and all those involved in the illegal narcotics business.
The police also appealed to the public to cooperate in the fight against drugs by sharing credible information related to drug trafficking and substance abuse, assuring citizens that the identity of informants would be kept strictly confidential.
