In a significant crackdown on terror financing networks, Jammu and Kashmir Police have attached an illegal property belonging to a Pakistan-occupied Kashmir based terror handler in north Kashmir's Baramulla district.
Property Attached Under Anti-Terror Laws
The police action targeted property owned by Mohammad Sadiq Ganai, a resident of Kalsan Mohalla in the Pattan area of Baramulla. Authorities confirmed that Ganai is currently operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and has been actively involved in coordinating terrorist activities in the region.
The property attachment was carried out under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), specifically following orders from the competent authority. This legal action demonstrates the continued efforts of security forces to dismantle the financial infrastructure supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Details of the Illegal Property
The attached property includes land measuring 10 marlas located at Kalsan Mohalla in Pattan. Police investigations revealed that this property was being used to facilitate and fund terrorist operations in the area.
According to official statements, Mohammad Sadiq Ganai has been operating from PoK while managing his terror-related activities in the Kashmir Valley through local contacts and networks. The property attachment aims to cripple his ability to finance and coordinate terrorist actions in the region.
Ongoing Counter-Terrorism Operations
This action forms part of the broader strategy adopted by security forces to target the economic resources that sustain terrorist organizations. By attacking the financial backbone of these groups, authorities aim to significantly reduce their operational capabilities.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have intensified their efforts against terror funding networks in recent months. Multiple properties linked to terror handlers operating from across the border have been identified and seized under the provisions of UAPA.
Security officials emphasize that such measures are crucial for maintaining peace and stability in the region. The attachment of properties used for illegal activities sends a strong message that those involved in terrorism will face severe consequences, including the loss of their assets.
Local residents have largely welcomed the action, seeing it as a necessary step toward eradicating terrorism from the region. The police have urged citizens to continue cooperating with security forces in identifying and reporting any suspicious activities or properties that might be connected to terrorist networks.
