Srinagar, May 30: The Jammu and Kashmir Police have intensified their efforts against drug trafficking and its associated illegal networks by seizing a property in the Shopian district. According to police reports, this property was purchased using funds acquired from the illegal drug trade.
The estimated value of the seized property is ₹22.35 lakh. It belongs to Ghulam Hasan Rasool Dar, son of Lassi Mohammad Dar, a resident of Khurampora Trench village in the Imam Sahib area.
