Drug Kingpin’s Empire Crumbles: Rs 1.06 Crore Seized in Kangra
Kangra police have dealt a significant blow to drug trafficking in the region, attaching assets worth over Rs 1.06 crore belonging to repeat offender Pawan Kumar. The action follows Kumar’s arrest in November 2024 with a substantial quantity of heroin.
The seized assets include two houses and a considerable amount of gold ornaments, representing a substantial portion of Kumar’s ill-gotten gains. This is a clear indication of the police’s commitment to dismantling drug networks.
Kumar, facing a minimum 10-year prison sentence, is a known recidivist with five prior drug-related convictions. This latest seizure underscores the long arm of the law in targeting the financial underpinnings of the drug trade.
This decisive action sends a strong message to other drug traffickers operating in Himachal Pradesh. The sustained crackdown on drug-related crime, targeting both the traffickers and their financial resources, is crucial for the safety and well-being of the state’s citizens. The police’s commitment to this ongoing battle against narcotics is vital for a drug-free Himachal Pradesh.
