Srinagar: Police in Baramulla attached immovable properties belonging to a “notorious” drug peddler, Mushtaq Ahmed Dar of Yadipora, Palhallan, Pattan, under the provisions of Section 68-F(1) of the NDPS Act, a police spokesman informed Sunday.
He said the attached properties comprise a single-storey residential house at Yadipora, Palhallan and four shops in a double-storey commercial building at Hyderbeigh, Pattan, with a combined assessed value of over ₹29 lakh.
The accused is involved in multiple cases under the NDPS Act and has also been detained under the PIT NDPS Act.
The attachment followed a detailed enquiry conducted under Chapter V-A of the NDPS Act, during which valuation certificates, revenue records and income-related documents established reasonable grounds to believe that the attached properties had been “acquired from the proceeds of illicit narcotic trafficking”. The cases against the accused have already been challaned before the competent court of law, police said.
