In a decisive step in the battle against drug trafficking, Srinagar Police on Tuesday attached property valued at ₹1.20 crore that belongs to notorious drug peddler Nisar Ahmad Sheikh. This action took place under the ongoing 100 Days Campaign of the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan, aimed at eradicating drug abuse across the region.
Acting under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, Police Station Nowhatta executed the attachment linked to FIR No. 61/2019. This FIR addresses violations under Sections 8 and 20 of the NDPS Act. The attached property consists of a fully renovated, three-storey residential house, a separate single-storey concrete kitchen block featuring three washrooms, and an area of land measuring 09 marlas.
Nisar Ahmad Sheikh, son of Habibullah Sheikh, resides in Kani Dewar, Sheikh Mohallah, Hawal area of Srinagar. Investigations by the police revealed that the property had been acquired through the proceeds of illicit drug trafficking. Following legal protocols, the assets were confirmed as illegally obtained and have now been seized under the provisions of the NDPS Act.
This bold action sends a clear message regarding the serious commitment of the Srinagar Police to dismantle the financial infrastructures supporting drug networks in the region. Authorities emphasize the importance of community involvement in combatting drug abuse. They encourage the public to share any information regarding drug trafficking or abuse, which is critical to their ongoing efforts.
The Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir initiative reflects a broader vision of a drug-free society. As authorities intensify their operations against drug peddlers, the community remains essential in forwarding information that aids these efforts. The Jammu & Kashmir Police have reiterated their commitment to tackling the drug menace aggressively by detaining and prosecuting those involved in drug-related crimes.
Officials expect that actions like these will not only hinder drug trafficking operations but will also deter potential offenders considering entering the trade. Srinagar Police continues to lead in this fight, showcasing their dedication to safeguarding the well-being of their community and creating a brighter future free from narcotics.
