SRINAGAR: Continuing its sustained crackdown on drug trafficking under the Nasha Mukti Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan—a 100-day campaign aimed at eradicating the drug menace, Police in Srinagar attached an immovable property worth approximately ₹2.74 crore under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

The attached property comprises a double-storeyed residential house along with 12 marlas of land beneath and appurtenant to the house, belonging to the accused Mubashir Ahmad Hakeem son of Abdul Hamid Hakeem resident of Awanta Bhawan, Soura, Srinagar.

The attachment has been carried out in connection with FIR No. 142/2025 registered under Sections 8/22 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Safakadal. The market value of the attached property has been assessed at approximately ₹2.74 crore.

This action reflects the unwavering commitment of J&K Police to dismantle the financial infrastructure of drug trafficking networks by targeting assets acquired through illicit proceeds. Such measures are intended to deter individuals involved in narcotics-related activities and reinforce the rule of law.

J&K Police reiterates its resolve to continue stringent action against drug peddlers and appeals to the public to actively support the fight against drugs by sharing any information related to narcotics trafficking with the nearest police station or through official helplines. The identity of informants will be kept strictly confidential.

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
