SRINAGAR (KIMS) — Jammu and Kashmir Police have attached a residential property worth ₹50 lakhs of a drug peddler in Anantnag district of South Kashmir on Tuesday as part of the ongoing intensified efforts to combat the drug menace.

Jammu and Kashmir Police attached a residential property of a notorious drug peddler, Gh Hassan Bandro alias Qasim, son of Wali Mohammad of Sotkipora.

“The accused, a habitual offender, has a history of involvement in drug trafficking and is implicated in multiple cases under the NDPS Act, including FIR Nos. 04/2014 and 74/2021 at Police Station Srigufwara. These cases highlight his repeated attempts to undermine societal well-being through illegal activities,” police said in a statement.

“The attachment of the property sends a strong message to those engaged in the illegal drug trade that such activities will not be tolerated. Anantnag Police are determined to dismantle drug trafficking networks by targeting their financial resources and operational bases,” the statement said. — (KIMS)
