The Commissionerate Police, Jalandhar, in coordination with the Municipal Corporation, on Tuesday demolished an illegal property belonging to a drug peddler. The action was part of the ongoing 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' campaign aimed at curbing drug trafficking in the region.
Property Built on Government Land with Drug Money
The encroached structure, allegedly built on government land using money earned from the illegal drug trade, was demolished in a joint operation. The Commissioner of Police stated that the Municipal Corporation had received information regarding an illegal construction raised on government land by notorious drug peddler Dharminder of Dhankiya Mohalla near Rama Mandi.
Habitual Offender with Multiple NDPS Cases
The CP revealed that Dharminder is a habitual offender against whom six cases under the NDPS Act have been registered. The property was allegedly built using income earned from his narcotics trade. Acting promptly on the information, teams of the MC and city police conducted the demolition.
The action sends a clear message that drug trafficking and any activities associated with the drug trade will not be tolerated in Jalandhar under any circumstances. The campaign continues to target illegal assets acquired through drug money.
