In a significant move to counter cross-border terrorism, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have attached properties in Rajouri district belonging to two absconding terror handlers. These individuals are believed to be currently operating from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The action is part of a broader strategy to dismantle terror networks by targeting the assets and resources of individuals involved in militant activities.
The properties include residential structures and land parcels that were allegedly used to fund or support terrorist operations. Authorities acted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), which allows for the seizure of assets connected to unlawful activities. Plice officials stated that this measure sends a strong message to those aiding and abetting terrorism, reinforcing the government’s commitment to combating militancy in the region.
This operation is part of a larger crackdown on cross-border terror modules. In recent years, there has been an increase in efforts to neutralize militants and disrupt their financial networks. The move has been welcomed by security experts, who believe it will curb the logistical support systems that fuel terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
The families of the accused handlers have been given notice to present their case before the authorities. However, local residents have expressed mixed reactions, with some supporting the move as a step toward peace, while others called for greater transparency in the investigation.
The police have reiterated their resolve to continue such actions to ensure long-term stability in the region. Additional operations are expected in other districts as the government intensifies its anti-terror efforts.
