’77 attached properties belonging to Jamaat-e-Islami’
Taking stringent measures against terror funding, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) and the Executive Wing (EW) of J&K Police attached 124 properties situated at 86 locations across Jammu and Kashmir.
In consonance with the policy of the government for zero tolerance towards anti-state activities, the SIA and the EW of J&K Police has widened the legal framework against terror funding by attaching 124 properties including land and buildings situated across J&K at 86 locations, a statement of SIA said.
These properties, during the course of investigation in terrorism related cases, have been established prima facie to be either proceeds of terrorism or used in such activities which are aimed at furtherance of terrorism and secessionism.
Invoking provisions of section 8 and section 25 of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), SIA and executive wing of police, after orders from competent authorities have set into motion legal process for forfeiture of the tainted properties, by courts having relevant legal and territorial jurisdiction.
Nearly, 77 of these properties belong to proscribed organisation Jamat-e-Islami, which have been notified under Section 8 of UAPA in Case FIR number 17/2019 U/S 10, 11 and 13 UA (P) Act of Police Station Batamalo being investigated by SIA.
Exhibiting strong resolve against terrorism, the action therefore has been taken following due process of law, to deracinate the terror support system, as per requirements of international charters and conventions against terrorism.
The terror funding case pertains to the collection of funds by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) in Jammu and Kashmir, ostensibly for charitable purposes, but which were allegedly used to promote terror activities by proscribed terrorist organizations such as the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
The investigators have arrested several people in connection with the case. The NIA has also seized a large amount of money and assets from the accused persons.
The terror funding case is seen as a major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism in Kashmir. The case has also led to a crackdown on terror funding activities in the region.
Investigators have said that JeI collected funds from various sources, including donations from individuals, businesses, and hawala operators.
The funds were allegedly used to finance terror activities, such as the purchase of arms and ammunition, the training of militants, and the carrying out of attacks on security forces and civilians.
JeI also used the funds to establish and run schools and hospitals in Kashmir, which were allegedly used as fronts for terror activities.
The case is still under investigation and it is not yet clear what the outcome will be. However, the case has already had a significant impact on the fight against terrorism in Kashmir.
