J-K Police attaches properties of five Pakistan-based terror handlers in Reasi
Reasi, July 30
Delivering a major blow to the terror ecosystem, Reasi Police in Jammu and Kashmir has attached the immovable properties of five alleged Pakistan-based terror handlers during the investigation of an FIR registered under the relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Unlawful Activities Act, and the EIMCO Act.
The attachment proceedings were carried out by a police team led by SDPO Mahore, Parul Bhardwaj, JKPS, along with the SHO, Police Station Mahore, in the presence of the Executive Magistrate, Mahore, and local witnesses, a press release stated.
Immovable properties belonging to several individuals, identified as assets intended to facilitate and finance terrorist activities, were attached, including seven Kanals of land belonging to Alaf Din, son of Mir Baz also known as Mir Baj, a resident of Shajroo, Tehsil Mahore; 10 Kanals 11 Marlas of land belonging to Ghulam Mohd also known as Gamma, son of Mohd Yousaf, a resident of Shajroo, Mahore; 17 Marlas of land belonging to Mohd Asraf, son of Ab Karim, a resident of Chakrass (Mulass), Mahore; seven Kanals three Marlas of land belonging to Shabir Ahmad, son of Mohd Yousaf, a resident of Chakrass (Jamsalan), Mahore; and 08 Kanals 01 Marla of land belonging to Bahar Din, son of Abdul Sattar Chopan, a resident of Sildhar.
During the investigation, credible evidence established that the above accused had exfiltrated to Pakistan for terrorist training and are presently operating as terror handlers from across the border, actively promoting, facilitating, and coordinating terrorist activities. The investigation further revealed that these properties were liable to be alienated, with the proceeds intended to finance and sustain terrorist operations.
Based on these findings, Reasi Police, after obtaining the requisite approval from the Police Headquarters in Jammu and Kashmir, attached the properties under the relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, to prevent their misuse for terror financing.
By targeting assets linked to terror operatives, the police aim to disrupt the terror ecosystem and deny anti-national elements the resources required to sustain their activities.

About time! But I hope the investigation also looks at local facilitators. Often these networks have deep roots, and just attaching property isn't enough—we need to dismantle the whole chain.
Interesting move. In the West, we focus more on intelligence and prosecutions, but asset seizure in conflict zones makes strategic sense. Hopefully, this disrupts their funding significantly.
Good step. But we need to ensure the legal process is followed correctly—sometimes such actions lead to prolonged litigation. Still, any blow to the terror ecosystem is welcome. 🙏
Impressive coordination between police, executive magistrate, and witnesses. This kind of transparency in operations is crucial. Hopefully, similar actions follow in other districts too.
Seven kanals here, 10 kanals there—it all adds up. These properties were probably bought with blood money. Let's hope the proceeds from auction go to victim families or development in the region.
Excellent work by SDPO Parul Bhardwaj and the team. But I'm curious—how do these handlers communicate from Pakistan? Are we also targeting the networks that facilitate their communication? That would be the next logical step.
