SRINAGAR: In a relentless efforts to curb the menace of drugs, Police in Anantnag have attached the property of a notorious drug offender namely Javaid Ahmad Dar resident of Tulkhan Bijbehara, under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Accused has faced multiple arrests for drug-related offenses, with his latest detention on 06 September, 2024, leading to the recovery of a substantial quantity of Codeine Phosphate.

Acting on conclusive evidence of illicit earnings channelled into property acquisition, Police Station Bijbehara has moved to seize Javaid’s assets, which include a residential property in Tulkhan valued at over 45 lakh rupees. An FIR No. 178/2024 was registered under Section 8/15 NDPS Act, marking yet another entry in Javaid’s record, which includes multiple past cases, notably from February 2020.

The investigation, revealing Javaid’s primary income as agricultural—insufficient to justify his property investments—prompted action under Section 68(1) of the NDPS Act, halting any potential sale or modification of the property. This decisive measure underscores Police’s commitment in tackling the drug trade by targeting assets acquired through unlawful activities, sending a strong deterrent message to others involved in the narcotics trade.
