Acting under Section 68(F) of the NDPS Act, Police Station Srigufwara attached a single-storeyed residential house belonging to Imtiyaz Ahmad Ganie, son of Lassi Ganie, a resident of Shalgam, Srigufwara. The property has been identified as proceeds acquired through illicit drug trafficking.
The accused is involved in FIR No. 72/2022 registered at Police Station Srigufwara under relevant sections of the NDPS Act. During the course of investigation, it was established that the said property was purchased using illegal earnings generated from narcotics trade.
Following due legal procedures, the property has now been formally attached in accordance with provisions of the NDPS Act.
