In a significant move towards disrupting the funding networks that support terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken action by attaching four properties. In connection with the Handwara narco-terrorism case involving proscribed terrorist groups Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), cash amounting to Rs 2.27 crore has been seized.
The NIA has attached the properties of four accused individuals in the Handwara tehsil of Kupwara district. Pursuant to Section 25 of the UA(P) Act, the attached immovable properties include the double-storeyed house of Afaq Ahmad Wani, the single-storeyed house of Muneer Ahmad Pandey, the house of Saleem Andrabi, and the double-storeyed house of Islam ul Haq. In total, 12 accused have been arrested in this case, with the NIA having filed charges against 15 individuals.
