Police freeze drug smuggler’s assest worth Rs 50 lakh

Bhilwara: Parsoli police Friday froze properties worth Rs 50 lakh of a smuggler allegedly acquired through drug trafficking in Chittorgarh district.

The accused was identified as Kamlesh Gurjar (29), a resident of Luhariya village. He is accused in different NDPS cases registered in Chittorgarh and Barmer districts.

SP Dharmendra Singh Yadav said the action was part of Operation Trinetra, an ongoing campaign against narcotics trafficking in the district, aimed not only at arresting smugglers but also at targeting properties allegedly acquired through illegal drug trade proceeds.

Following an investigation conducted under the supervision of Begu DSP Anjali Singh, police submitted a proposal to the Competent Authority and Administrator, SAFEM (FOPA) NDPS Act, Delhi, seeking attachment of properties allegedly acquired through proceeds of drug trafficking.

The authority subsequently approved the freezing of Kamlesh’s share in agricultural land at Itawa village, a residential house in Luhariya registered in the name of his father Bhairulal Gurjar, and two vehicles.

Further action under the NDPS Act is being pursued in the case.
