Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday attached an immovable property belonging to a Pakistan-based terror handler in Poonch district as part of ongoing efforts to curb terror-related activities and dismantle their support networks.
Officials said the action was taken under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The attached property comprises about four marlas and two sarsai of agricultural land located at Village Nar in the Nakka Majhari area of Mendhar tehsil in Poonch district.
According to police, the property belongs to Rafiq Nai alias Sultan, son of Mohammad Afsar, a resident of the area who is currently operating from Pakistan. He is described as a terror handler and launching commander of the banned outfit Tahreek-ul-Mujahideen / Jammu Kashmir Ghaznavi Force.
Police said the accused has been actively involved in facilitating infiltration of militants, supervising narcotics and weapons smuggling, and attempting to revive terrorist activities in the Poonch–Rajouri sector. He has been designated as an individual terrorist and is wanted in several serious cases related to militancy and violence.
The attachment was carried out by a joint team of Mendhar police and the revenue department after completing all legal formalities and obtaining approval from the competent authority. The market value of the attached land has been assessed at around Rs 10 lakh.
Police said the move is part of a broader strategy to disrupt the financial and logistical networks of terrorist groups and to ensure that those involved in anti-national activities are deprived of resources.
