# J&K police attach Budgam house under NDPS Act 2026-08-26T22:36:57+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Police in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, have attached a two-storey residential house under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The property belongs to Noor Mohd Dar, a resident of Hapatnar in Charar-i-Shareif. The action, taken under Section 68-F(1) of the NDPS Act, is linked to a case registered under Section 8/15 of the Act at Charar-i-Shareif Police Station. The case involves offences related to illegal possession, transportation and trafficking of narcotic substances, a police spokesperson said. The owner is now barred from selling, transferring, leasing, mortgaging or creating any third-party interest in the property without permission from the competent authority. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This is the latest in a series of property attachments under the NDPS Act in Jammu and Kashmir, a tool police use to dismantle the financial networks behind drug trafficking. Section 68-F allows attachment of property derived from or used in narcotics offences, even before a conviction, as long as a case is registered. The burden then falls on the owner to prove the property was acquired through legitimate means. With drug-related cases rising across the Union Territory, the police's focus on asset seizure is aimed at hitting traffickers where it hurts most: their wealth. The next step in this case will be whether the owner challenges the attachment before the appropriate authority. ## Coverage - greaterkashmir.com Straight news agency style report, no framing slant, just the police statement This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
