Jammu and Kashmir Police announced on Monday the attachment of immovable properties valued at Rs 1.23 crore belonging to a fugitive drug dealer in the Sopore sub-division of Baramulla district. This action is part of the ongoing 100-Day Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan aimed at combating the narcotics ecosystem. The attached properties include a double-storey residential house and land owned by Mohammad Ashraf Mir, known as Ashu, who is currently evading law enforcement.
The seized assets, which consist of a residential property and land, were identified as being acquired through illicit drug trafficking proceeds. The attachment was carried out under the provisions of Section 68F of the NDPS Act, 1985, in connection with a specific FIR. Mohammad Ashraf Mir, alias Ashu, is wanted in an NDPS case, with a Look Out Notice already issued against him. He has a history of involvement in multiple drug-related cases, highlighting his persistent engagement in narcotics activities.
This enforcement action is part of Sopore police’s intensified efforts to disrupt the financial infrastructure supporting the drug trade. By confiscating unlawfully obtained assets, the authorities aim to dismantle the economic roots of the narcotics network and prevent drug traffickers from benefiting from their criminal activities. Sopore police emphasizes a strict stance against drug trafficking and substance abuse, pledging to sustain legal and financial measures against all individuals involved in the narcotics trade.
