On Sunday, Jammu and Kashmir police announced that they had frozen 100 bank accounts in Srinagar connected to drug trafficking. This move is part of an effort to disrupt the financial operations of drug networks.
The accounts hold large sums of money, and all transactions are being carefully examined to trace the movement of illegal funds.
Freezing these accounts has cut off access to financial resources used by drug traffickers. The individuals linked to these accounts have been arrested in connection with cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, which poses a serious threat to the community, especially young people.
Further investigations under the NDPS Act led to the freezing of these accounts, which contain money believed to be from the illegal drug trade. In addition, properties worth crores of rupees, obtained through these illegal activities, have been seized.
