In a significant crackdown on drug dealers, the District Administration of Samba, in a pioneering move, confiscated the property of a notorious drug dealer in the Rakh Barotian area of Vijaypur.
Deputy Commissioner Samba, Abhishek Sharma, and SSP Vinay Sharma orchestrated a meticulously planned operation resulting in the confiscation of a residential property valued at approximately Rs. 15 lakhs. This property belonged to Shamas Din, also known as Bacchu, the son of Maskeen Ali, of Rakh Barotian tehsil Vijaypur.
The administration, with the unwavering support of law enforcement agencies, executed the operation under sections 68-E read with 68-F of the NDPS Act of 1985, in connection with FIR No. 33/2019 U/S 8/21/22 NDPS Act of PS Vijaypur; FIR No. 23/2023 U/S 8/21/22/29 NDPS Act of PS Vijaypur and FIR No. 108/2023 U/S 8/21/22/29 NDPS Act of PS Vijaypur. The residential property, identified as ill-gotten gains acquired through illicit drug trafficking, was uncovered during a thorough investigation and inquiry conducted by vigilant officers of Police Station Vijaypur, establishing a backward linkage of the properties of the accused with drug peddling.
This operation served as a stern reminder of the unwavering commitment of the District Samba to eradicate the drug menace from our communities. The local populace lauded this proactive initiative, recognizing it as a pivotal step towards ensuring a safer and drug-free environment for all.
As part of the campaign, a strong message has been sent to curb the activities of drug peddlers by attaching the property of a notorious drug peddler. This action underscores the administration’s firm resolve to tackle drug-related issues and ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
The property attachment operation was conducted by a team headed by Rohit Gupta SDPO Vijaypur, Sudesh Kumar Tehsildar Vijaypur, and executed by Zaheer Mushtaq SHO Vijaypur and his team. The district administration urges the cooperation of all residents and stakeholders in making the Nasha-Mukt campaign a success, and invites them to join hands in building a brighter and drug-free future for Samba
