Srinagar August 27: In a significant action against drug trafficking and illicit proceeds, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) Kashmir has taken action for freezing/attaching a two-storeyed residential house belonging to accused Iftikhar Ahmad son of Ghulam Rasool Qureshi, resident of Taad, Karnah, Kupwara, who is involved in FIR No. 06/2026 under Sections 8/21 and 29 NDPS Act and Section 61 BNS, registered at Police Station ANTF Kashmir.

The property has been frozen/attached under Section 68-E read with Section 68-F of the NDPS Act, as part of the ongoing efforts of ANTF Kashmir to identify, trace and proceed against properties and assets derived from, or connected with, illicit narcotics activities. The action reflects the zero-tolerance policy of ANTF Kashmir towards drug trafficking and its financial networks. By targeting not only the individuals involved in the narcotics trade but also the assets linked with such activities, ANTF Kashmir is working to disrupt the financial backbone of the drug menace. The present property-freezing action is another significant achievement in the continuing campaign of ANTF Kashmir to dismantle the economic infrastructure supporting the illegal drug trade and send a clear message that proceeds and assets generated through narcotics trafficking will be identified and proceeded against in accordance with law.

ANTF Kashmir remains committed to protecting society, particularly the youth, from the devastating consequences of drug abuse and to taking firm and sustained action against drug traffickers and their associates. ANTF Kashmir appeals to the public to extend cooperation in identifying and reporting activities related to drug trafficking and abuse. Public participation remains vital in making the fight against the drug menace more effective.
