Poonch (J&K), Apr 28: Authorites in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir today attached immovable property of two alleged criminals, who have illegally gone to Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and are hiding there.
The properties belong jointly to Abdul Aziz and Mukhti Bi, residents of Chamber Kanari in Mandi Tehsil of Poonch.
Both are proclaimed offenders in connection with a long-pending criminal case, officials said.
The attached property includes an old residential house built on 2 kanal and 5 marlas of land under Khasra No. 491, with an estimated value of around ₹5.5 lakh.
Officials said the action was carried out under Section 88 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in compliance with court orders.
The accused are involved in FIR No. 07/2002 registered at Police Station Mandi under Sections 2/3 of the Egress and Internal Movement (Control) Ordinance (E&IMCO) Act.
According to police, both individuals had exfiltrated to Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and were later declared proclaimed offenders by the court.
Despite sustained efforts to apprehend them, they remained absconding, prompting the court to order attachment of their property.
The attachment was executed by police in coordination with revenue authorities following due legal procedure.
Police said the action reflects their commitment to enforcing the rule of law and taking stringent measures against absconders.(NVI)
