Srinagar, Nov 14
Continuing its action against terror funding through narcotic smuggling, J&K Police on Thursday attached the property of a terror associate worth Rs one crore in the Sopore area of Baramulla district.
Police said property belonging to Aamir Rashid Lone, son of Abdul Rashid Lone of Bomai locality of Sopore town, was attached in case FIR 26/2024 registered under Sections 18, 20, 23, 38 and 39 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and 7/25 Arms At at Bomai police station.
"The attachment of the property worth Rs one crore is part of the ongoing efforts to choke the financial and logistical support for terrorist organizations and their enablers. J&K Police have been attaching properties of terrorists and their associates in order to deplete the breeding ground of terrorism that is sustained through terror funding operations connected with narcotic smuggling. The funds so generated are used to provide logistical support and financial support to various terrorist outfits. The same money is utilised to lure youth to join the terrorist ranks," an official said.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday attached the two-storeyed residential house of an accused in the Zaldagar area of Srinagar.
Officials said that the NIA action has followed the investigation into the murder of two non-locals in Srinagar city in February 2024.
