Jodhpur Police have frozen movable and immovable assets worth approximately Rs 46.09 lakh belonging to two accused drug traffickers, while Jodhpur Rural Police recently froze another accused’s assets valued at around Rs 1.58 crore, according to police statements reported by the Times of India.
The latest action by Jodhpur West Police covers a house and three vehicles allegedly linked to Shekhar Ram, who faces three cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Police said the assets are located in the Jhanwar police station area.
In a separate case, authorities took control of six shops belonging to Kanaram, who has been named in eight NDPS cases. DCP (West) Kamal Shekhawat said the action was part of an ongoing campaign targeting drug traffickers and properties allegedly acquired through illegal activities.
The reported seizures place real estate and other physical assets at the centre of the police response. Alongside the house and shops, the actions involve vehicles and other property whose ownership and alleged connection to drug proceeds are being handled under provisions of the NDPS Act.
Jodhpur Rural Police had earlier frozen assets worth approximately Rs 1.58 crore registered in the name of Bhagirath Ram and his family members. These assets include agricultural land, 10 shops, a Bolero Camper, a house and a plot in Jodhpur city, as well as a residential house in his village. The rural police action was reported on Friday.
Police said action under the NDPS Act has so far been initiated against six drug traffickers. Shekhawat said the campaign against individuals and properties allegedly acquired through illegal activities would continue, although the report did not specify the next properties or cases to be taken up.
The police also provided figures on the wider enforcement campaign. During 2026, authorities destroyed 3,846 kg of narcotic substances valued at around Rs 6 crore, according to the report. Vehicles seized in connection with such cases and valued at more than Rs 3 crore have also been disposed of.
Shekhawat said the number of actions taken under the NDPS Act had increased by 25% compared with the previous year. The figures indicate that the police response is extending beyond the seizure and destruction of narcotics to action against assets allegedly connected to trafficking networks.
The reported asset freezes do not by themselves establish guilt or permanently transfer ownership of the properties. They represent police action in cases where the accused face proceedings under the NDPS Act. Further legal and administrative steps will determine the status of the frozen properties and other assets.
