Srinagar, Jun 21: Properties of two terror handlers based out of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) were attached in Kupwara district on Saturday, Police said.
Police in Handwara attached immovable properties belonging to two individuals from Monbal, who stand accused in a long-pending terrorism case, a police spokesman said.
The accused have been identified as Mohammad Shafi Bara and Ghulam Mustafa — both residents of the Monbal area of Handwara.
Both the accused exfiltrated to PoK and have since been actively involved in promoting terrorism, coordinating terror-related activities from across the border, and orchestrating multiple terror incidents in the region, the spokesman said.
The attachments were executed in connection with FIR No. 198/2003 registered at the Handwara police station under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Explosives Substances Act, and Ranbir Penal Code (RPC).
The action followed a court order under Section 83 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which empowers authorities to attach the properties of proclaimed offenders, the spokesman said.
