In a significant development, two high-value residential properties in Jammu, belonging to a couple and a woman, have been seized by the authorities on suspicion of being acquired through illegal means related to drug trafficking. The properties, located in the Rajeev Nagar area of Bahu Fort, have been identified as illegally obtained during the course of a thorough investigation.
The first property, a lavish three-storey house owned by Reena, and the second, a two-storey residential house owned by Pal Singh and his wife Seema, have been attached under section 68-F of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. According to a police spokesperson, these properties are believed to have been acquired using the proceeds from illicit drug trafficking activities.
The investigation revealed that the owners of these properties are named in five FIRs at the Bahu Fort police station dating back to the period between 2017 and 2023. This discovery has prompted the authorities to take swift action in accordance with the law to combat the drug menace effectively. The operation to attach these properties underscores the unwavering commitment of the police in tackling drug-related crimes with full force.
The enforcement action serves as a stern warning to those involved in illegal drug activities, sending a clear message that ill-gotten gains will not go unpunished. The authorities are determined to crack down on individuals who engage in drug trafficking and ensure that they face the consequences of their actions.
The seizure of these valuable properties highlights the persistent efforts of law enforcement agencies in Jammu to root out criminal activities and uphold the rule of law. It also serves as a deterrent to others who may be tempted to engage in similar unlawful practices. The authorities have reiterated their resolve to continue the fight against drug trafficking and protect the community from the harmful effects of illicit substances.
The residents of Rajeev Nagar and the surrounding areas have welcomed the enforcement action, expressing relief that steps are being taken to address the issue of drug trafficking in their neighbourhood.
