Srinagar: Immovable property of a proclaimed offender of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) operating from across the Line of Control (LoC) was on Friday attached in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, police said.
As part of the sustained crackdown on the terror ecosystem and anti-national elements, Sopore Police attached immovable property of a proclaimed offender involved in a case registered at Panzalla Police Station under the E&IMCO Act, a police spokesperson said.
The proclaimed offender was identified as Ghulam Mohammad Bhat alias Hyder, a resident of Rohama Rafiabad area of the north Kashmir district, he said.
Investigations have revealed that the accused had illegally crossed over to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir for obtaining illegal arms and ammunition training and is linked with the banned terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen, the spokesperson said.
He said Bhat is presently “operating in coordination with the HM terror network from Pakistan”.
The attachment proceedings were carried out in collaboration with the Revenue department in respect of land measuring six marlas at Daengrut Rohama and 10 marlas at Reshinar Rohama, valued in lakhs of rupees, he added.
The accused had been evading legal proceedings for a prolonged period despite sustained efforts and was accordingly declared a ‘Proclaimed Offender’ by a court under Section 88 CrPC, he said.
Subsequently, in compliance with the orders of the court, attachment proceedings were executed after due verification through revenue records and local enquiry, the spokesperson said.
