The state government has frozen assets valued at Rs 13.29 crore as part of a financial investigation aimed at dismantling drug trafficking networks.
The Chhattisgarh administration announced the seizure of assets totaling Rs 13.29 crore, marking a decisive step in its ongoing fight against illicit drug trade. The frozen properties include bank accounts and movable assets linked to individuals suspected of facilitating narcotics operations.
Officials said the move is part of a broader financial probe designed to trace and disrupt the money flow that sustains drug cartels in the state. By targeting the economic foundations of these networks, authorities hope to weaken their operational capacity.
The enforcement action follows a series of intelligence inputs that highlighted the role of organized crime in supplying narcotics across regional markets. While no further details on the seized entities were disclosed, the government affirmed that additional investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of the cartels' financial networks.
