SRINAGAR, Kashmir (India): Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat has ordered the attachment of immovable properties belonging to five terrorists operating from Pakistan. The Jammu and Kashmir Police has also secured proclamation proceedings against top Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Mohammad Qasim.
According to an order issued by Police Headquarters, Srinagar, the action has been taken in connection with FIR No. 70/2024 registered at Police Station Mahore under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Explosive and Inflammable Material Control Act, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Investigations revealed that several terrorists who exfiltrated to Pakistan between 1991 and 2003 are allegedly involved in supplying arms, ammunition and funds, besides radicalising local youth to revive terrorism in the Mahore and Chassana areas of Reasi district.
Police identified five Pakistan-based terrorists whose landed properties were allegedly being used to generate funds for terror activities. The attached properties belong to Alaf Din, Ghulam Mohammad alias Gamma, Mohammad Ashraf, Shabir Ahmad and Bhar Din, all originally from Reasi district.
The properties were declared “proceeds of terrorism” under the UAPA and attached after obtaining prior approval from the DGP under Section 25 of the Act.
Officials said proclamation proceedings have also been secured against Mohammad Qasim, a senior Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba operative. His property had already been attached in March this year.
The DGP directed that all attachment proceedings be carried out strictly in accordance with the law as part of sustained efforts to dismantle the financial network supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
