The Story in Brief
Srinagar police have attached a residential property worth approximately Rs 4 crore belonging to Fayaz Ahmad Dar, a drug trafficker, in Ichgam, Budgam. The action comes under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, 1985, targeting assets allegedly bought with proceeds from narcotics. The property, a two-storey house with land measuring 5 kanals and 17 marlas, was attached by Police Station Khanyar in connection with a 2026 FIR.
The police said the move aims to break the financial backbone of drug networks. This is part of a sustained anti-drug drive in Jammu and Kashmir, focusing on both supply and the assets that sustain illegal trade. Authorities have not disclosed if any arrests have been made in the case.
The Indian Opinion
This attachment is a welcome step, but the real test is how many such properties are traced before traffickers move assets. The grand narrative of a 'drug-free Kashmir' will ring hollow unless the police name the upstream financiers and politicians shielding these networks. Watch how many follow-up cases actually lead to convictions, not just seizures of one house.
