Police attach property of Pakistan-based terror operative in Mahore
Ramban, Oct 15: In a major crackdown on cross-border terror infrastructure, the Police Wednesday attached property belonging to a Pakistan-based terrorist in the Mahore area of Reasi district.
Police said the action was carried out under the supervision of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Reasi, Paramveer Singh.
The accused, Mohd Sharif Mirasi, son of Ghulam Mohd and a native of Sildhar, Mahore, had joined terrorist ranks in 2000. In 2010, he crossed over to Pakistan to procure arms, ammunition and undergo training for carrying out terror activities against India.
According to police, Sharif Mirasi was initially affiliated with Hizbul Mujahideen and later joined the proscribed outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). From across the border, he has remained actively involved in supporting and facilitating terrorism in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
As part of the ongoing action against such operatives, 3 kanals and 6 marlas of land, falling under Khasra Nos 138 and 150 in Sildhar, Mahore, have been attached under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UA(P)A].
The attachment is linked to FIR No 70/2024 registered at Police Station Mahore, which includes serious charges under sections 61(2), 148, and 149 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), sections 13, 18, 20, and 38 of the UA(P) Act, and sections 2/3 of the Indian Motor Vehicles (IMCO) Act.
Speaking about the operation, SSP Paramveer Singh said, “This decisive move is part of a broader strategy to dismantle the logistical, financial, and operational networks of terror outfits and their cross-border handlers. The attachment of property sends a strong message to those who continue to engage in or support anti-national activities from within or outside the country.”
“The Jammu and Kashmir Police reaffirmed the commitment to ensuring peace, stability, and security in the region by relentlessly targeting the assets and support systems of terrorist operatives,” he said.
