Srinagar Police Attach Property Worth Rs 1.5 Crore Under NDPS Act
In a handout, the police stated that the attached property comprises a two-storied residential house along with 1 kanal 4 marlas of land. The property belongs to Gulzar Ahmad Bhat, son of Late Abdul Rehman Bhat, a resident of Budoo Bagh Khanyar, Srinagar, as per revenue records.
The property is currently in the possession of his son, Suhail Ahmad Bhat, a notorious drug peddler involved in an NDPS case.
The accused has a history of involvement in drug peddling, primarily targeting local youth, thereby posing a grave threat to public health and safety.
Investigations revealed that the property was acquired through proceeds from illicit drug trafficking.
Acting under Sections 68-E and 68-F of the NDPS Act, Srinagar Police formally seized and attached the immovable property following the due legal process.
The property cannot be sold, transferred, or otherwise dealt with without prior approval from the competent authority.
This development marks a decisive step in the broader strategy of Jammu & Kashmir Police to dismantle the financial infrastructure of narcotics networks.
Jammu and Kashmir Police continues to maintain a zero-tolerance approach towards drug-related crimes, aiming to safeguard the community especially its vulnerable youth from the dangers of substance abuse.
Srinagar Police urges all citizens to actively participate in the fight against drugs by sharing any relevant information. Public cooperation is essential to ensuring a safe, healthy, and drug-free Srinagar.

'The accused policemen — Chamarajanagar district CEN sub-inspector Ayyana Gowda and constables Basavanna, Ramesh, and Mohan — are currently absconding,' said B T Kavitha, Chamarajanagar Superintendent of Police. According to the police, the incident took place on July 26 when the businessman, Sachidananda Murthy, had come to Chamarajanagar town with Rs 3 lakh as per the instructions of two individuals named Syed Ansari and Imran, who had lured him into a money-doubling scheme. The police said that while Murthy was waiting for the men at a hotel, the accused policemen were at his doorstep, stating that they were conducting a raid and seized the cash. The accused officials, including Chamarajanagar district CEN sub-inspector Ayyana Gowda, allegedly threatened to arrest Murthy for storing 'black money' and demanded Rs 4 lakh to let him free, the police said.

Gujarat Doctor Duped Of Rs 19 Crore In 'Digital Arrest' Scam, One Arrested
Last Updated: A Gandhinagar doctor was duped of Rs 19 crore over three months by fraudsters posing as officials who trapped her in a 'digital arrest' scam, a report has claimed. One person was arrested on charges of duping a doctor and forcing her to transfer Rs 19 crore over a period of three months. According to a report with India Today, the doctor, based in Gujarat's Gandhinagar, first received a call on March 15, when the caller told her that she had objectionable content on her phone and that her connection would be snapped. Fearing a money laundering case against her, the doctor gradually became a victim of 'digital arrest' by the callers, who identified themselves as authorities, including a sub-inspector, a public prosecutor, and others. As the caller continued to blackmail her and instil fear in her of an action, she ended up transferring Rs 19 crore of her lifetime savings and assets in three months to 35 different bank accounts, the report claimed. The fraudsters further exploited the situation by securing a loan against the doctor's gold jewellery and transferring those funds as well, according to the report. In due course of time, the doctor even started informing the callers of her whereabouts. One person from the gang was arrested in Surat as the police swung into action. The report claimed the police found Rs 1 crore of the duped funds in the bank account of the arrested person. More persons from the gang were yet to be arrested. view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 14:26 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
