J&K Police on Saturday attached the property of dreaded Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Sajad Gul at Rose Avenue in HMT, Srinagar.
Police said the action was part of a broader step to dismantle terror networks and their support structures in the Union Territory (UT).
In a statement on Saturday, the police said property worth approximately Rs 2 crore had been recorded in the name of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh, son of Khawja Anwar Sheikh and father of designated terrorist Sajad Ahmad Sheikh alias Sajad Gul, as per revenue records and verification from the Tehsildar, Central Shalteng, Srinagar.
They said the attachment was carried out in connection with FIR No. 235/2022, registered under relevant Sections 13, 38, and 20 of the UAPA, and Sections 2/3 of the EIMCO Act, at Police Station Parimpora.
Though the property is registered in his father’s name, investigation revealed that Sajad Gul is an active stakeholder. He is wanted in cases related to terrorism, running anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection against the government through various online and social media platforms.
Police said the attachment was part of their strategy to dismantle terrorist structures and financial and logistical operations undertaken by terror outfits in the UT.
“Srinagar Police reaffirms its unwavering commitment to uphold the rule of law and protect peace and public order,” the statement read.
Gul is one of the top commanders of The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, founded by him and Muhammad Abbas Sheikh after the Indian Parliament revoked the special provision for Jammu and Kashmir and downgraded the State to a UT.
Presently, Sheikh Sajjad Gul serves as the supreme leader of The Resistance Front.
