Bhubaneswar: The Special Task Force (STF) of Odisha Crime Branch on Saturday confirmed the forfeiture of properties worth Rs 2.35 crore of absconding drug trafficker Anil Pandi, illegally acquired from narcotics business over the last six years.
The properties seized under the NDPS Act include a palatial three-storey building having luxurious facilities, including a swimming pool, besides 33 plots and bank deposits.
“All these properties were purchased from ill-gotten money from drug trafficking within the last six years. Properties were purchased in his own name as well as in the name of his brother Sunil Kumar Pandi and others,” an official release said.
Pandi, who hails from Chhachina village under Kodala police limits in Ganjam district, has been absconding since a non-bailable warrant against him and STF had also declared a reward for any information on him in December 2021. He has a history of NDPS cases in Gujarat and Odisha.
On August 13, 2021, the STF had seized 10 quintal ganja, a TATA Truck and other incriminating materials.
Anil along with his brother Sunil Pandi operated the drug trafficking racket in both the states. Sunil is currently in jail custody after being arrested by Gujarat police.
