Property Attachment in Terror Case
The Jammu and Kashmir Police's Crime Investigation Wing (CIK) attached immovable property belonging to former Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) president Mubeen Shah in a terror-related case. The attachment was carried out by a CIK team at Buchwara, Dalgate, where 12 marlas of land owned by Shah were seized.
Details of the Action
According to officials, the attachment was executed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The CIK team reached the site on Tuesday and formally attached the land, placing it under police custody. The move is part of an ongoing investigation into Shah's alleged involvement in terror financing and propaganda activities.
Mubeen Shah, a prominent businessman and former head of KCCI, has been under scrutiny for his links to separatist and militant groups. The police have registered a case against him under various sections of the UAPA, accusing him of providing financial support to terrorist organizations.
Impact and Legal Proceedings
The attachment of property is a significant step in the investigation, aimed at disrupting the financial network of terror groups. Legal experts say that such actions are permissible under the UAPA, which allows for the seizure of assets linked to terrorism. Shah has the right to challenge the attachment in court.
Local residents expressed mixed reactions, with some supporting the police action and others questioning the evidence. The case is expected to proceed further as the CIK continues its probe into Shah's activities.
