Srinagar, Feb 3 (NationPress) The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police has officially filed a charge sheet on Monday against seven terror associates in court under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
According to officials, the charge sheet was presented in court in Srinagar district against these individuals.
The police statement indicated that this charge sheet is linked to FIR number 31/2024, which was registered at the Khanyar Police Station, under Sections 13, 18, 20, 23, and 38 of the UAPA, as well as Section 7/25 of the Arms Act.
“Eight individuals were implicated in this case, which includes a Pakistani terrorist known by the alias Usman, who was killed during a police encounter.
“Charges have been formally laid against seven individuals for their roles in various terrorism-related activities, while a separate challan has been submitted concerning the deceased Pakistani terrorist.
“The J&K Police is dedicated to fighting terrorism and ensuring the safety and security of our citizens,” the statement concluded.
In a continued effort against terrorism, police recently apprehended a fraudster who had accepted a bribe from a suspect for the release of his mobile phone from police custody.
Over the years, various fraudsters, smugglers, and petty criminals have exploited the ongoing turmoil to extort money from ordinary Kashmiris by posing as either security agents or terrorist associates.
Authorities also recently shut down dental clinics in the Pulwama district operating without the necessary licenses and in unsanitary conditions.
Local reports indicate that the banned psychotropic drug, heroin, is being distributed to addicts in the Valley, with police having seized adulterated samples of such drugs.
Parents have been urged through local media and by religious leaders to monitor their children closely, as anti-social and anti-national forces are trying to lure them into drug use and potentially terrorism.
