REASI, April 24: In a significant move under the Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan, the Reasi Police have attached a vehicle belonging to a notorious drug peddler, Vishal Sharma, also known as Murli.
The operation, conducted under the leadership of SSP Mukund Tibrewal, IPS, targeted property believed to be illegally acquired through the proceeds of narcotics trafficking. The vehicle, registered as JK21A-0829, was seized following an order from the Court of Sub Judge Katra under Section 107(5) of the BNSS.
The accused, a resident of Mandian Mohalla Reasi currently staying in Parthal Katra, has a documented history of criminal activity and is linked to multiple cases under the NDPS Act, including FIRs filed in 2025 and 2026 at the Katra Police Station.
