Srinagar: A property of a Hizbul Mujahideen-linked proclaimed offender, currently operating from Pakistan, was attached in Baramulla district on Saturday, police said.
According to a police spokesperson, the accused was Nadihal Rafiabad-resident Rasid-ud-Din Qureshi.
He said Qureshi was booked at the Panzalla Police Station under Section 2/3 of the E&IMCO Act.
The Egress and Internal Movement (Control) Ordinance, 2005, was enacted to control the movement of persons within and from then state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The spokesperson said Qureshi had illegally crossed over to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to get illegal arms and ammunition training.
Qureshi is alleged to be linked with the banned terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), he said.
At present, Qureshi is operating from Pakistan, the spokesperson said.
The attached property was a piece of land measuring two kanals in Lashdaej Nadihal, he said.
Qureshi was declared a Proclaimed Offender by the court under Section 88 of the CrPC.
This is the third such attachment action carried out by the police in Sopore in as many days, the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, Sopore Police on Saturday conducted searches at more than 15 locations across the police district in connection with a case linked to the banned Jamaat e Islami organisation under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.

The raids were conducted in several areas including Jamia Qadeem, Naseem Bagh, Krankshivan, Tarzoo, Amargarh, Warpora, Bomai and Boitingoo after obtaining warrants from the designated UAPA Court. The operations were carried out in the presence of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses as per legal procedure,” the officials said, adding, “During the searches, police seized incriminating material, including literature linked to the banned organisation. The material has been taken into custody for further investigation and examination.”
The officials said the action is part of the ongoing crackdown against the terror and separatist ecosystem as well as networks linked to banned organisations in the region.
