Srinagar Police on Monday, 27 July announced the attachment of immovable properties worth approximately ₹5.60 crore under the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan, invoking Section 68F of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The action targets assets identified as proceeds of illicit drug trafficking across multiple cases in the district.
Key Attachments by Police Station Chanapora
Police Station Chanapora attached seven immovable properties linked to separate NDPS cases. The accused and corresponding property values are as follows:
Mohd Yaseen Rather, resident of Chanapora (FIR No. 42/2023) — property worth approximately ₹65 lakh. Suhail Rashid Haroon, resident of Lane-I, Gousia Colony, Lal Nagar (FIR No. 41/2025) — approximately ₹60 lakh. Mohd Asif Rather, resident of Bagh-i-Mehtab (FIR No. 35/2026) — approximately ₹75 lakh. Arsalan Syed Beigh, resident of Azad Basti, Natipora (FIR No. 28/2026) — approximately ₹35 lakh. Hilal Ahmad Parray, resident of Budshah Nagar, Natipora (FIR No. 23/2026) — approximately ₹1 crore. Danish Reyaz Shah, resident of Sanat Nagar (FIR No. 21/2025) — approximately ₹75 lakh. Saqib Naseer Beigh, resident of Baramulla, currently at Natipora (FIR No. 45/2025) — approximately ₹70 lakh.
Police Station Saddar Attachment
Police Station Saddar separately attached a residential house worth approximately ₹80 lakh belonging to Shaheem Farooq Bhat, resident of SD Colony, Natipora, in connection with FIR No. 08/2026 under Sections 8/21 and 29 of the NDPS Act. All attached properties have been identified as illegally acquired assets generated from the proceeds of narcotics trafficking.
Legal Framework and Next Steps
The attachments have been carried out strictly under the provisions of the NDPS Act and are subject to confirmation by the Competent Authority wherever applicable. According to the police statement, the actions are aimed at dismantling the 'financial backbone' of drug trafficking syndicates by stripping peddlers of unlawfully acquired wealth.
Srinagar Police Appeal to Public
Srinagar Police reiterated its commitment to making society drug-free and appealed to citizens to share information regarding drug trafficking. 'Every credible input received from the public is treated with utmost confidentiality and contributes significantly towards the success of the ongoing Nasha Mukti Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan,' the police statement said. This latest round of attachments signals a continued escalation in the financial targeting of drug networks across the valley.
Point of View
Spanning eight accused and two police stations, suggests a coordinated push to map and freeze drug-linked assets rather than pursue cases in isolation. What remains to be seen is whether the Competent Authority confirms these attachments and whether convictions follow — without that, the financial blow is temporary. The Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan's real test is not the headline crore figure but the rate at which attached assets are ultimately forfeited, not returned.
