On March 3, 2025, the Jammu and Kashmir Police took decisive action against terrorism by attaching four properties in the Poonch district. These properties belonged to three individuals—Najab Din, his brother Mohd Latif from Kirni village, and Mohd Bashir, also known as Tikka Khan, from Qasba village. All three are suspected terrorists who are currently operating from Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK).
Background and Accusations
The police have accused these individuals of actively engaging in and promoting terrorism. According to intelligence reports, they have been involved in activities aimed at disturbing peace and social harmony in the Poonch district and other regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Their operations reportedly include instigating violence, radicalizing locals, and attempting to revive militancy in the region.
Legal and Security Implications
The property attachment was carried out under the stringent provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and other relevant laws that empower security agencies to seize assets of individuals involved in terrorist activities. By attaching their properties, the police have not only dealt a financial blow to these fugitives but have also sent a strong message to other anti-national elements operating from across the border.
This action is part of the ongoing efforts by security forces to curb the influence of terrorists and their sympathizers in Jammu and Kashmir. It also aligns with India’s broader strategy of dismantling terror networks by targeting their financial assets and logistical support systems.
