Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday warned that properties of people providing shelter to militants or their associates will be attached under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
“Process has started for attachment of some immovable properties which have been used for purpose of terrorism as per section 2(g) & 25 of ULP (UAPA) Act,” Srinagar Police wrote on its Twitter handle.
The police said properties will be attached as per the law apart from legal action in such cases.
“Don’t give shelter or harbour terrorists/terror associates. Legal action will be supplemented by property attachments as per law,” it said.
Meanwhile, news agency KNO quoted SSP Srinagar Rakesh Balwal as saying that “the houses where encounters took place, houses where militants took shelter and planned attacks on security forces and civilians will be attached,”
He said “so far in 2020-21, over a dozen such houses have been identified in Srinagar downtown, Pantha Chowk, Soura, Batamaloo, Nowgam, Harwan, etc.”
