Srinagar, Aug 19 (NationPress) The police in J&K's Anantnag district announced on Tuesday that they have seized the immovable assets of an active terrorist.
A statement from the police indicated that Anantnag Police, continuing their intense operations against the terror infrastructure, has confiscated the immovable property owned by an active terrorist in accordance with applicable legal provisions.
The land identified as Khasra No. 165min, located in Guree, Bijbehara, and owned by Adil Hussain Thoker, son of Wali Mohammed Thoke, a resident of Guree, Bijbehara, has been attached under Section 83 of the CrPC.
This action is linked to FIR No. 11/2023, filed under Sections 20, 38 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Sections 2/3 of the EIMCO Act.
The seizure is a part of lawful initiatives aimed at dismantling the terrorist support network in the region. Authorities will persist in targeting individuals who are implicated in unlawful and anti-national activities.
Joint forces, comprising the army, CAPFs, and the J&K Police, are conducting coordinated, target-specific operations against terrorists, their Over Ground Workers (OGWs), and sympathizers.
These measures aim to dismantle the entire terrorist ecosystem in J&K rather than merely focusing on the removal of armed terrorists.
The police have reiterated their dedication to upholding peace, security, and the rule of law within the district.
Additionally, drug traffickers and peddlers are under scrutiny, as it is believed that proceeds from hawala operations and drug trafficking finance terrorism.
While the army secures the extensive 740 km line of control (LoC) in J&K, CAPFs and local police are actively engaged in anti-terrorism operations within the hinterland.
The J&K Lieutenant Governor has been personally overseeing the security operations, emphasizing the importance of addressing the entire terror ecosystem instead of focusing solely on individual terrorists.
