SRINAGAR, Nov 6: Police have attached a three-storey house of a drug trafficker worth Rs 1.2 crore under the Narco Act in Anantnag district on Wednesday.
Police said they have attached the property of a known drug trafficker identified as Mohammad Ashraf Dar, under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Tulkhan Bijbehara.
They said Dar has a history of offences under the NDPS Act, with several cases involving the trafficking of substances like Codeine Phosphate, Charas and Spasmo Proxyvan Plus.
His most recent offence was on April 4, 2021, when a major drug haul was seized, including 70 bottles of Codeine Phosphate, 34.7 kg of Charas powder, and 4,320 capsules of Spasmo Proxyvan Plus.
“Further investigations revealed that his two sons, Inayat Ah Dar and Sahil Ah Dar, were also arrested in 2024 on drug-related charges. Inayat Ah Dar was arrested with 9 bottles of Codeine Phosphate, and Sahil Ah Dar was apprehended with 12 bottles of the same substance”, police said.
“Despite Dar’s stated income from agriculture, an investigation revealed that his three-storey residence in Tulkhan, valued at around 1.2 crores, was acquired through proceeds from his illicit drug activities”, police said.
“Consequently, Police enforced Section 68(1) of the NDPS Act to attach the property, preventing its sale or alteration”.
