Poonch, Jan 02 : Jammu and Kashmir Police in Poonch on Friday attached an immovable property belonging to a Pakistan based terror handler in the Mandi area of the district, acting on the directions of a competent court, officials said.
The officials told GNS that the action was taken in connection with FIR No. 07/2002 registered at Police Station Mandi under Sections 2 and 3 of the Enemy and Inimical Activities Act. “The attached property comprises 6 kanal and 13.5 marlas of land falling under multiple khasra numbers in Tehsil Mandi of Poonch district. Officials said the property has an assessed value of around Rs 13.36 lakh.”
Owner of the property has been identified as Jamal Lone alias Jamala, son of Sultan Lone alias Sultana, a resident of Chamber Kanari in Mandi. “He is presently operating from Pakistan and is described by police as a terror handler involved in activities inimical to the security and sovereignty of the country,” officials said.
The accused, they said, had exfiltrated to Pakistan or Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir and continued to evade the legal process. He was subsequently declared a proclaimed offender by the court. Repeated efforts by the police to secure his arrest did not yield results, following which the court ordered attachment of his immovable property.
The attachment, as per officials, was carried out by Poonch Police in coordination with the Revenue Department after completion of all required legal formalities, verification, and documentation. (GNS)
