UDHAMPUR, April 27, 2026 — Executing a major crackdown under the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan, the Udhampur Police has attached immovable property valued at ₹20 lakh belonging to a drug peddler identified as Rafiq.

The action, carried out under Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, involved the seizure of a residential house located at Jojrian Talab. Investigations revealed that the accused, the son of Bansi, had acquired the property situated on state land through the proceeds of illegal narcotics trafficking.
