Police attach Pakistan-based terror handler’s Kathua property

JAMMU: Kathua Police Tuesday attached property belonging to a Pakistan-based terror handler in the district’s Lohai Malhar tehsil on orders of the additional sessions court, Jammu.

The attachment of the land (approximately 7.5 marlas) owned by the accused, Swar Din, in Bhatodi area was carried out in connection with an FIR registered at Billawar PS under relevant sections of BNS, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Egress and Internal Movement (Control) Ordinance Act.




Police said Swar Din had earlier moved to Pakistan or Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, and had, since then, been involved in activities inimical to the security and sovereignty of India. The court declared him a “proclaimed offender” due to his continuous evasion of the legal process. “Despite sustained efforts by Kathua Police to secure his arrest, he remained untraceable, prompting the court to order attachment of his immovable property,” a police spokesperson said.

The attachment was executed by Billawar SHO Inspector Zaheer Mushtaq, under the guidance of Billawar SDPO Neeraj Padyar, in close coordination with the revenue department, and by following all due legal procedures, verification, and documentation, police stated.

Cops said the action was part of a broader and sustained strategy to dismantle the financial and logistical support structures of terror networks, and to ensure that those involved in subversive activities were deprived of resources.
