J&K Police strike at terror operatives, attach properties of six Pakistan-based terrorists
In one of the latest measures to target the financial backbone of militancy, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has attached properties belonging to six Pakistan-based terrorists, alleging the assets were intended to facilitate and finance terrorist activities.
J&K DGP Nalin Prabhat on Thursday ordered the attachment of properties belonging to 5 notorious terrorists, now operating from Pakistan.
Besides, J&K Police has secured Proclamation Proceedings against Mohammad Qasim, a top Lashkar operative, who is also operating from Pakistan. His property was attached in March 26.
Delivering a major blow to the terror ecosystem, Reasi Police has attached the immovable properties of five Pakistan-based terror handlers during the investigation of FIR No. 70/2024 of Police Station Mahore, registered under the relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), and the E&IMCO Act.
The attachment proceedings were carried out by a police team led by SDPO Mahore, Parul Bhardwaj, along with the SHO, Police Station Mahore, in the presence of the Executive Magistrate, Mahore and local witnesses.
Immovable properties belonging to following persons, identified as assets intended to facilitate and finance terrorist activities, were attached:
1. Alaf Din S/o Mir Baz @ Mir Baj, R/o Shajroo, Tehsil Mahore – 07 Kanals of land.
2. Ghulam Mohd @ Gamma S/o Mohd Yousaf, R/o Shajroo, Mahore – 10 Kanals 11 Marlas of land.
3. Mohd Asraf S/o Ab Karim, R/o Chakrass (Mulass), Mahore – 17 Marlas of land.
4. Shabir Ahmad S/o Mohd Yousaf, R/o Chakrass (Jamsalan), Mahore – 07 Kanals 03 Marlas of land.
5. Bihar Din S/o Abdul Sattar Chopan, R/o Sildhar – 08 Kanals 01 Marla of land.
During the investigation, credible evidence established that the above accused had exfiltrated to Pakistan for terrorist training and are presently operating as terror handlers from across the border, actively promoting, facilitating and coordinating terrorist activities. The investigation further revealed that these properties were liable to be alienated, with the proceeds intended to finance and sustain terrorist operations.
Based on these findings, Reasi Police, after obtaining the requisite approval from the Police HQ J&K, attached the properties under the relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, to prevent their misuse for terror financing.
This action reflects the firm resolve of Reasi Police to dismantle the financial infrastructure supporting terrorism. By targeting assets linked to terror operatives, the police aim to disrupt the terror ecosystem and deny anti-national elements the resources required to sustain their activities.
Reasi Police remains steadfast in its commitment to combating terrorism through stringent legal action and ensuring lasting peace, security and public safety in the region.
