In a significant move to combat drug abuse, Anantnag Police have attached property worth Rs 2 crores under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, reinforcing their ongoing efforts against drug peddling networks, as per a press release.

Police in Srigufwara seized a double-story residential house along with one kanal of land, valued at Rs 2 crore, belonging to Mohammad Amin Malik, son of Ghulam Rasool Malik, a resident of Kanalwan. Malik, a habitual offender, was involved in a case at Srigufwara police station, where a substantial quantity of narcotic substances was recovered, the release added on Wednesday.

This decisive action underscores Anantnag Police's unwavering commitment to eradicating the drug menace and dismantling the infrastructure supporting narcotics trafficking. Utilising the provisions of the NDPS Act to attach properties linked to criminal activities sends a strong message, acting as a deterrent for those involved in the illegal drug trade.
