The frozen assets include four vehicles — a Toyota Hilux pickup, a Hyundai Creta, a Mahindra Bolero Camper and a Mahindra Scorpio — along with residential properties, plots, a three-storey building, agricultural land, a masonry stone mining lease and a liquor shop. The properties were registered in the names of Kaushalaram, his wife, his brother and his sister-in-law, according to police.

District Superintendent of Police Choonaram Jat said the action is part of a statewide campaign launched on the directions of Rajasthan Director General of Police Rajeev Kumar Sharma to target criminals involved in drug trafficking and dismantle their financial networks.

The operation was conducted by Baytu Police Station under the supervision of Additional SP Nitesh Arya and Baytu Circle Deputy SP Deependra Saini. Kaushalaram, son of Kherajram, is a history-sheeter from Sauo Ki Dhani in Bhojasar, under the jurisdiction of Baytu Police Station, police said. The allegations against him are yet to be tested in court.
