Srinagar Police Attach House and Land Worth ₹2 Crore in NDPS Case
Investigators say the property held by the accused’s father was bought with drug‑trafficking proceeds tied to FIR 98/2025.
Overview
- Police attached a three-storey residence and one kanal of land in Shaltang, Srinagar, valued at about ₹2 crore.
- The property is in the possession of Fayaz Ahmad Bhat, father of alleged drug peddler Manzoor Ahmad Bhat named in FIR No. 98/2025 under NDPS Sections 8/22 and 29.
- Investigators concluded the asset was acquired using illegal proceeds from narcotics trafficking, leading to an order under Section 68‑F of the NDPS Act.
- Authorities carried out the attachment in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and independent witnesses with stated adherence to legal protocols.
- The order prohibits any sale, lease, modification, or third‑party interest, as police highlight an ongoing push against drug networks that reporting suggests can finance militancy in J&K.
