J&K police attaches property worth Rs 2 crore belonging to designated terrorist

Srinagar Police attaches 3-storey house worth Rs 2 crore belonging to designated terrorist Sajad Ahmad Sheikh as part of anti-terror crackdown under UAPA.

"He has been involved in facilitating terrorism, running anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection against the government - J&K Police Statement"

Srinagar, Oct 4

In a significant step towards dismantling terror networks and their support structures, Srinagar Police has attached a three-storey residential house constructed over 15 marlas of land located at Rose Avenue, HMT, a police statement said on Saturday.

The statement said that the property, valued at approximately Rs 2 crore, stands recorded in the name of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh, s/o Khawja Anwar Sheikh, father of designated terrorist Sajad Ahmad Sheikh alias Sajad Gul, as per revenue records and verification from Tehsildar Central, Shalteng, Srinagar.

"The attachment has been executed in connection with FIR No 235/2022 under sections 13, 38, 20 UAPA, and 2/3 EIMCO Act, registered at Police Station Parimpora," the statement said.

"Proceedings were initiated under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), empowering authorities to attach properties used or intended to be used for terrorist activities. The action was carried out in the presence of the concerned Executive Magistrate," the statement added.

The statement further added that though the property is registered in the name of the terrorist’s father, the investigation has revealed that Sajad Gul is an active stakeholder.

"He has been involved in facilitating terrorism, running anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection against the government through various online and social media platforms."

Police said this attachment forms part of the ongoing strategy of Srinagar Police to disrupt the financial, logistical, and operational networks of terrorism, including their cross-border sponsors and sympathisers.

"The action sends a clear message that individuals or entities aiding terrorism will face strict legal consequences, including the forfeiture of illegally acquired assets," the statement said.

"Srinagar Police reaffirms its unwavering commitment to uphold the rule of law, protect peace and public order."

Security forces in J&K are carrying out aggressive operations against terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs), and sympathisers to dismantle the complete ecosystem of terror.

While I support action against terrorism, I hope proper legal procedures were followed. UAPA gives wide powers to authorities, and we must ensure innocent people's properties aren't wrongly attached. Due process is important for justice.

₹2 crore property! This shows how much money is involved in terror activities. Good that police are targeting the financial networks. Terrorists can't operate without money and safe houses. More such actions needed! 🇮🇳

Using social media for anti-national propaganda is becoming a serious threat. Glad authorities are taking action against online radicalization. The youth need to be protected from such influences.

This sends a strong message to all terror sympathizers - you can't hide behind family members' names. The investigation proving the terrorist's involvement despite property being in father's name shows good police work. Jai Hind!

As someone who has visited Kashmir recently, I can see the improvement in security situation. Actions like these property attachments will help maintain peace and normalcy in the region. Tourism is picking up and such measures help.

The cross-border terror funding needs to be completely dismantled. Hope this action is part of a larger strategy to cut off all financial support to terrorists. Our security
