Properties of suspected drug peddlers attached in Srinagar
Srinagar, July 20 (PTI) Ten properties of suspected drug peddlers were attached in Jammu and Kashmir’s summer capital here on Monday, police said.
The 10 immovable properties were worth approximately Rs 8 crore, a police spokesman said.
He said the action was taken under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
The properties, including two in the name of women, were identified as illegally acquired assets generated through proceeds of narcotics trafficking, the spokesman said.
The attachment has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the NDPS Act to dismantle the financial infrastructure of drug networks and deprive offenders of the benefits derived from illegal drug trade, he added.
