Srinagar: Plots of land belonging to a militant, operating from Pakistan, were attached by police in J-K's Kupwara district on Tuesday, officials said. The attachments were made by the Jammu and Kashmir Police's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) in a case against Al-Barq terror outfit member Abdul Rashid Qureshi alias Farooq Qureshi, a resident of Kachama village in the district, they said.
Following extensive intelligence gathering and meticulous investigation in the case "of the Kupwara police station registered under various sections of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) and the UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act), a team of SIU Kupwara Police led to the identification and subsequent attachment of the terrorist's property of land measuring 6 canals and 3 marlas located at multiple locations within the district," an official said.
This measure aims at disrupting Qureshi's illicit network and restricting his ability to carry out acts of terror, he said. Qureshi has been a persistent threat to the peace and security of the Union Territory since the time he ex-filtrated to Pakistan in the early 90s, the official said.
