JKP to attach property for sheltering militants
The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday warned that properties of people providing shelter to militants or their associates will be attached under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Process has started for attachment of some immovable properties which have been used for purpose of terrorism as per section 2(g) & 25 of ULP (UAPA) Act, Srinagar Police wrote on its Twitter handle.
The police said properties will be attached as per the law apart from legal action in such cases.
Don’t give shelter or harbour terrorists/ terror associates. Legal action will be supplemented by property attachments as per law, it said.
J&K police said that it has identified “over a dozen houses in Srinagar district which were used during 2020 and 2021 for terrorism purposes.”
“The process for attachment of these identified houses has started,” a senior police officer in Srinagar said. “These houses include where encounters broke or where terrorists took shelter and planned attacks” he added.
The decision to attack property, it is widely believed, is to convey a clear message to the common people not to give shelter to militants.
