Srinagar: Police have attached residential properties belonging to two drug peddlers in the Chadoora area of district Budgam, a police spokesperson informed Friday.
He said at Chitroo Dangarpora, police attached a one-storey residential house worth approximately ₹30 lakhs belonging to Ghulam Nabi Wani, son of Ghulam Mohammad Wani. The property was attached in connection with Case FIR No. 181/2025 registered under Sections 8/20/29 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Chadoora.
During investigation of the case, more than 300 kilograms of Poppy Husk/Fukki had been recovered from the premises last year.

The property was attached in connection with Case FIR No. 35/2026 registered under Sections 8/20 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Chadoora.
Pertinently, more than 9 kilograms of cannabis-like substance had been recovered last month from a bandsaw mill at village Kasermulla, Chadoora during investigation of the case. Accordingly, action under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act was initiated as part of the ongoing efforts to dismantle narcotics networks and target assets created through the illegal drug trade.
