Jammu, Jan 4 (NVI) As part of continued efforts to dismantle the architecture of Pakistan-supported terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the state police has attached in Poonch district the immovable property belonging to Jamal Lone alias Jamala, a terror handler who is currently in Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir (POJK) or in Pakistan.
While Jamal Lone, who has been declared a proclaimed offender, has run away across the Line of Control (LoC), he continued to own a piece of land in Chamber Kanari village of Mandi Tehsil in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
This piece of land, measuring 6 Kanals 13.5 Marlas and worth Rs 13.36 lakh, has been seized under court orders related to FIR No. 07/2002 (E&IMCO Act).
Jamal Lone had earlier exfiltrated to Pakistan/PoJK and has since been actively involved in activities inimical to the security and sovereignty of the nation, Jammu and Kashmir Police said.
This is yet another action that sends out a signal to the terrorist operatives that they cannot escape accountability even if they run away from Jammu and Kashmir.
“Owing to his continued evasion of the legal process, the accused was declared a Proclaimed Offender by the Hon’ble Court,” said a statement by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
“Despite sustained efforts by Poonch Police to secure his arrest, he remained beyond the reach of law, compelling the Hon’ble Court to order attachment of his immovable property. Acting upon these directions, the attachment was executed by Poonch Police in close coordination with the Revenue Department, after following all due legal procedures, verification, and documentation,” it said.
This action forms part of a broader and sustained strategy to dismantle the financial and logistical support structures of terror networks and to ensure that individuals involved in terrorism and anti-national activities are deprived of their resources, the police said.
The police reiterated its unwavering commitment to act firmly and lawfully against Pakistan-based terror handlers and all elements involved in activities prejudicial to national security, and assures the public that such measures will continue in the interest of peace, public safety, and sovereignty of the nation.
