In a significant anti-terror operation, authorities in Jammu and Kashmir have demolished the residential house of Dr Umar Nabi, who stands accused in the recent Delhi blast case linked to an ISIS cell. The action took place in the Pulwama district of South Kashmir, marking a decisive step in the ongoing investigation.
Demolition Operation in Pulwama
The demolition was carried out on Tuesday in the Naira village of Pulwama district, where Dr Umar Nabi's family residence was located. Official sources confirmed that the action was taken under the stringent anti-terror laws, specifically the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Local administration officials, accompanied by security forces, reached the Naira area early Tuesday morning to execute the demolition order. The operation was conducted smoothly without any reported resistance from local residents. The area remained under tight security cordon during the entire process.
Connection to Delhi Blast Case
Dr Umar Nabi, whose house has been demolished, is currently in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in the Delhi blast case that occurred earlier this year. The blast was reportedly orchestrated by an ISIS-inspired module operating in the national capital region.
Investigators have revealed that Dr Umar Nabi played a crucial role in providing logistical support to the terror module. His alleged involvement includes sheltering other accused persons and facilitating their activities. The demolition of his family home is seen as part of the broader strategy to dismantle the support structure of terror networks in the region.
Legal Framework and Official Response
The demolition was conducted under the provisions of UAPA, which allows for such actions against properties used for terrorist activities. Security officials emphasized that the action sends a strong message to those involved in anti-national activities that there will be zero tolerance for terrorism and its supporters.
Local authorities have maintained that the demolition was a necessary step in the fight against terrorism. They stated that properties used for planning or supporting terrorist activities will face similar consequences as per the law. The action has been widely supported by security agencies working in the region.
This development comes amid increased anti-terror operations across Jammu and Kashmir. Security forces have been actively working to identify and neutralize terror networks operating in the region. The demolition of Dr Umar Nabi's house represents the continuing efforts to uproot terrorism from the Kashmir valley.
The case continues to be under investigation by multiple agencies, with further developments expected as the probe progresses. Authorities have assured that all legal procedures were followed during the demolition process, and the action was taken only after thorough verification of evidence connecting the property to terrorist activities.
