Ferozepur SSP Saumya Mishra said that the property of Sukhchain Singh from Bhakhra village in Ferozepur has been attached following proper authorisation from the competent authority. “This will prevent the drug trafficker from selling or transferring the assets without the authority’s consent,” the SP said.

The assets attached include immovable property, a house on a 49.92 marla plot in ‘Lal Lakir’, valued at ₹72,48,000, and movable property like a vehicle valued at ₹3,52,032.

“Additionally, a bank account with ₹55,375 was also frozen, bringing the total to ₹76,55,407. These measures were taken under section 68-F (2) of the NDPS Act 1985, as per the orders from the competent authority in New Delhi,” a police spokesperson said. The police, led by DSP (city) Sukhwinder Singh, affixed the orders outside Sukhchain’s residence.

SP (investigation) Randhir Kumar said that in 2023, assets worth over ₹15 crore were attached in 30 cases. So far in 2024, assets exceeding ₹1 crore have been attached in two cases.
