JAIPUR. In a significant crackdown on the financial networks supporting illegal drug trade, authorities in Ajmer have successfully frozen four vehicles linked to a known narcotics trafficker. The action was taken under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, specifically targeting assets acquired through illicit income generated from the distribution of banned substances. The total value of the seized assets is estimated to be 32 lakh rupees.
The investigation into the suspect, identified as Tarun Nahariya, a resident of Bhagwanganj, began following his arrest on August 6, 2026. At the time of his apprehension by the Ramganj police, he was found in possession of 31.46 grams of MD. Following his detention, police initiated a comprehensive financial audit to trace the origins of his wealth and assets.
The probe revealed that Nahariya had systematically funneled money earned from drug trafficking into the purchase of vehicles registered under his own name, as well as those of his wife, Neha, and his mother, Durga Devi. The identified assets include a Honda NX 200 motorcycle and a Toyota Innova registered to the suspect, a TVS Jupiter 125 in his wife's name, and another TVS vehicle registered to his mother.
Acting on these findings, the local police team compiled detailed documentation and submitted a formal proposal to the Competent Authority and Administrator in Delhi. Invoking Section 68F(2) of the NDPS Act, the authorities in Delhi issued the freezing order on November 9, 2026, effectively preventing the transfer or sale of these assets.
This operation is part of a broader, ongoing campaign directed by the Rajasthan Police Headquarters to dismantle the economic foundations of convicted drug offenders. Under the guidance of Ajmer Superintendent of Police Harshvardhan Agarwala and his senior team, the local police are continuing to scrutinize the financial trails of individuals involved in narcotics cases to ensure that crime does not pay.
