Dismantling the Terror Ecosystem: Property Attachments Under the UAPA in Jammu & Kashmir

Property Attached Under UAPA In J-K
Summary
  • J&K Police frequently attach immovable assets (such as houses and land) linked to terror operatives or used for sheltering militants under Section 25 of the UAPA.

  • Once attached, properties face strict public notices prohibiting any sale, lease, transfer, or creation of third-party interests.

  • These measures aim to systematically dismantle terror networks by cutting off logistical support and financial infrastructure.

Police on Wednesday attached a residential property in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district under UAPA in a terror-related case.

The residential property was attached under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, in connection with an FIR registered in the north Kashmir district, a police spokesman said.

The attached property comprises a double-storeyed residential house at Namblan village in Sheeri belonging to accused Aijaz Ahmad Ganie, he said.

During the course of the investigation, the property was found, prima facie, to have been used for providing shelter and logistical support to terrorists and facilitating terrorist activities, thereby attracting the relevant provisions of the UAPA concerning proceeds of terrorism, the spokesman said.

The attachment was carried out after obtaining requisite approval from the Director General of Police, he said.

A public notice was also displayed at the property, prohibiting its sale, transfer, lease, mortgage or creation of any third-party interest, the spokesman added.

He said the action forms part of Baramulla Police's sustained efforts to disrupt and dismantle the logistical and support infrastructure of terror networks and to proceed, in accordance with law, against persons and properties found involved in facilitating terrorist activities.
