Himachal Pradesh police have seized assets valued at Rs 48 lakh in a drug‑related case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
Himachal Pradesh law‑enforcement officials carried out a seizure of property worth approximately Rs 48 lakh, invoking the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The confiscation was part of an ongoing investigation into alleged drug‑related offenses within the state.

Details of the individuals or entities linked to the seized assets have not been disclosed, and the investigation remains active. Police have indicated that further legal action will follow as evidence is examined in accordance with the NDPS framework.
