Srinagar Police intensified their crackdown on drug trafficking by confiscating properties of a drug peddler in Srinagar. The attached property, a seven-marla residential house, owned by notorious peddler Owais Amin Denthoo, was seized under the NDPS Act. This action is part of the ‘Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyaan’ to combat drug-related activities.
The police revealed that the property was obtained through proceeds from drug trafficking, as per an FIR at the Parimpora police station. This move is a strategic effort by Srinagar Police to dismantle the narcotics network and address the rising drug abuse problem in society. The police are conducting raids to target drug peddlers and seize their assets across the Union Territory.
In a separate incident, Budgam Police confiscated properties worth Rs 80 lakh from a drug trafficker involved in smuggling narcotics. The properties of two drug peddlers were seized, one in Chadoora area valued at Rs 30 lakh and the other, a two-storey house in Hassipora village worth Rs 50–55 lakh. The ‘Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyaan’ is a 100-day campaign initiated under Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s supervision to combat substance abuse and promote a healthy lifestyle.
