Jaipur, May 1: The Pratapgarh police have launched a significant operation against drug trafficking, seizing assets worth approximately ₹2.5 crore from a drug trafficker under ‘Operation Trinetra.’
Under the direction of Superintendent of Police B. Aditya, the Arnod police prepared a proposal under Section 68F(1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, which was sent to the competent authority in New Delhi. The proposal has been approved, and the process of seizing the identified assets has commenced.
This action targets Jamshed Khan, also known as ‘Seth Lala,’ a resident of Devaldi village in the Arnod police station area. According to police reports, the accused has been involved in drug trafficking for a long time, amassing significant wealth through illegal activities.
Investigations revealed that Khan invested his earnings from drug trafficking into building a lavish house in Devaldi, currently valued at around ₹2.5 crore. He has no verified legal source of income or ancestral property, yet he has accumulated millions in assets in a short span.
This case is linked to a major seizure conducted by the Piplod police in Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh, on March 30. Acting on a tip-off, police raided a poultry farm in Borkheda, confiscating 200 grams of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 900 grams of precursor chemical powder, 140.48 kilograms of chemical-filled containers, 35.6 kilograms of hydrochloric acid, and equipment used for manufacturing synthetic drugs.
During this operation, four individuals, including Jamshed Khan, were arrested. Further investigations by the Pratapgarh police revealed that the accused was actively involved in trafficking substances such as MDMA, brown sugar, and doda chura.
A total of eight criminal cases have been registered against him in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh, and he remains wanted in several cases. Following the approval of the proposal, police have affixed a notice of seizure on the identified assets and informed the relevant departments for further legal action.
Superintendent of Police B. Aditya stated that the police’s actions will not be limited to arrests but will also aim to dismantle the economic networks of drug traffickers. He emphasized that this sends a clear message that illegal assets will not be allowed to remain secure.
