Based on the orders, the state government has initiated the auction and attachment of property, thus recovering Rs 54.90 crores. Of this, Rs 33.50 crores have been disbursed among 45,593 investors. The district Collectors have also been asked to expedite the auction and disburse the amount to the investors.

The DGP underlined the need for stern action against drugs and its syndicate. A comparative review of action initiated against social evils like gambling, speculation, sale of illegal liquor and illegal weapons was also done.
