In Rajasthan, the Pratapgarh Police have seized assets totaling Rs 3.2 crore from two suspected drug traffickers as part of “Operation Trinetra.” The assets were frozen under the NDPS Act, with approval from the Competent Authority in New Delhi. These assets were allegedly acquired through illegal drug trafficking proceeds.
One of the traffickers, Shaifulla Sheikh, had assets worth Rs 1.55 crore attached, including agricultural land and a luxury bungalow built from drug trafficking profits. Investigations revealed that Sheikh was involved in supplying drugs to Ajmer.
In a separate case, assets worth Rs 1.65 crore linked to Bhuralal Labana, another alleged smuggler, were frozen. Labana had invested in assets under family members’ names to avoid detection. These assets included a residential plot, agricultural land, and a tractor.
Both Sheikh and Labana face multiple criminal charges in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh related to drug trafficking, illegal arms, assault, forgery, and other crimes. Pratapgarh SP Aditya emphasized that the crackdown on drug networks and their financial assets will persist, warning that those aiding drug traffickers will face consequences.
