JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir police on Wednesday attached two thatched houses, valuing about Rs six lakh, belonging to two notorious drug peddlers in Samba district, an official said.
The houses belonging to Bagh Ali and Kago, both residents of Rakh Barotian village of Vijaypur tehsil, were attached under the relevant section of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, a police spokesman said.
He said the accused were named in two separate FIRs registered under the NDPS Act at police station Vijaypur in 2024 and 2025.
“The residential houses were identified as illegally acquired property by the drug peddlers during the course of the investigation,” the spokesman said.
He said the action demonstrates the police’s ongoing commitment to dismantle the drug trade by targeting illegal assets and deterring future offenders. (PTI)
