Poonch, November 15, : Under the strategic direction of ASP Poonch Mohan Sharma, the Poonch Police has delivered a massive blow to drug trafficking networks, freezing bank accounts with transactions worth crores and attaching over Rs. 25 lakhs in a major financial offensive. This intensified crackdown, spearheaded by a dedicated special investigation team, is meticulously disrupting the illicit narcotics trade’s financial lifelines operating within the region.
The aggressive action comes as part of ongoing financial investigations into narcotics smuggling, where numerous accounts under scrutiny revealed unusually high-volume transactions, triggering suspicion during financial surveillance and monitoring. These accounts were allegedly utilized to route proceeds from the sale and distribution of narcotics across multiple districts. By freezing them, authorities have effectively prevented the accused from withdrawing or diverting funds that could have been reinvested to fuel further illegal activities.
The operation was meticulously carried out by a special investigation team from Police Station Poonch. This specialized unit, including SHO Poonch Sachinder, PSI Avinash Rajput, and PSI Vikas Deep, demonstrated exemplary coordination with various financial institutions and cyber units. Their expert collaboration was instrumental in tracing, verifying, and securing the illicit funds. The team diligently examined multiple layers of transactions, successfully identified linkages to known smugglers, and gathered sufficient evidence to justify the attachment of assets under relevant legal provisions.
This decisive move, overseen by ASP Poonch Mohan Sharma, is a critical component of a broader strategy aimed at systematically dismantling the economic foundations of drug trafficking groups. The focus is not solely on apprehending traffickers but also on aggressively targeting their financial channels, associates, and facilitators. Further investigations are actively underway, and authorities have indicated that more seizures and attachments are likely to follow as the financial probes continue to deepen, reinforcing the commitment to a comprehensive approach against the drug menace.
It is pertinent to mention that just two days prior, Poonch Police had also attached immovable properties worth crores, identified as proceeds of drug crimes, under the direct supervision of ASP Poonch Mohan Sharma, underscoring the consistent and high-impact approach being adopted against the drug menace in the district.
