Police in Jammu & Kashmir attached properties worth a combined ₹5 crore belonging to drug peddlers across two districts on 6 June 2025, in the latest enforcement action under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan. Assets worth ₹3.5 crore were frozen in Srinagar, while a residential property valued at ₹1.5 crore was attached in Poonch district.

Srinagar Attachments: Two Properties, Two Peddlers

In the first action, Police Station Nigeen attached a double-storeyed residential house along with land at Habbak Crossing, Hazratbal, valued at approximately ₹1.30 crore. The property belongs to Rahil Manzoor Malla, son of Manzoor Ahmad Malla, and the attachment was executed under Section 68(F)(1) of the NDPS Act, 1985 in connection with FIR No. 30/2021 under Sections 8/21 of the NDPS Act.

In a separate action, Police Station Soura attached a residential house worth approximately ₹2.20 crore belonging to Adil Rashid Gudoo, son of Abdul Rashid Gudoo, resident of Keel Khan Gali (Haider Colony), Upper Soura. The attachment was made under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, with investigators establishing that both properties were acquired from proceeds of drug trafficking.

According to the police statement, the attachment orders prohibit the owners from selling, transferring, leasing, or creating any third-party interest in the properties pending further legal proceedings.

Poonch Action: Property and Fresh Arrest

In Poonch district, Police Station Surankote attached a residential house at Village Samote, Tehsil Surankote — registered under Khasra No. 871 — valued at approximately ₹1.5 crore. The property is owned by Mst. Bashira Bi, wife of Mohd. Rashid, and the action was taken under Section 68(F) of the NDPS Act in connection with FIR No. 109/2025 under Sections 8, 21, and 22 of the Act.

Separately, a police team conducting naka checking at Mohra Wala Naka, Surankote intercepted a suspect who attempted to flee on noticing police presence. The individual, identified as Safeer Ahmed, son of Naseer Ahmed, resident of Samote, Tehsil Surankote, was found in possession of approximately 4.23 grams of a heroin-like narcotic substance, commonly known as Chitta. FIR No. 162/2026 under Sections 8/21/22 of the NDPS Act has been registered, and investigation is under way to trace the supply chain and source of the contraband.

Legal Framework and What the Orders Mean

All attachments were carried out under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, which empowers law enforcement to freeze assets identified as proceeds of the narcotics trade. Official notices affixed to the properties notify the public that no transaction — purchase, sale, lease, or transfer — can be executed without authorisation from a competent authority.

This is not an isolated enforcement burst. J&K Police have been systematically targeting the financial ecosystem of drug networks under the Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan, with asset attachment emerging as a key tool to dismantle trafficking operations beyond mere arrests.

Broader Campaign and Community Appeal

The Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan is framed as a long-term, multi-district campaign aimed particularly at protecting the youth from narcotics. Police in both Srinagar and Poonch reiterated appeals for public cooperation, urging residents to share information on drug trafficking and substance abuse through official channels.

With asset-attachment actions now spanning Srinagar, Poonch, and multiple police stations, the campaign is expected to intensify scrutiny of property holdings linked to known narcotics networks across the Union Territory.
