In a major step against terrorism, the Ramban Police on Wednesday attached agricultural land belonging to a Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK)-based terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
According to an official release, the action was carried out under Section 25 of the UAPA within the jurisdiction of Police Station Dharamkund in District Ramban.
The property—measuring 1 Kanal and 11 Marla—is registered in the name of Ali Mohammad, a terrorist reportedly settled in PoK. The land is duly recorded in the local revenue records.
The authorities have issued formal notices prohibiting any sale or transfer of the attached property, as per provisions of the UAPA. Police officials said the move is part of ongoing efforts to curb terrorism and dismantle the support infrastructure of militants operating from across the border.
The attachment is linked to case FIR No. 02/2024 U/S 120-B/121-A/IPC, 13/18/20/39 UAPA of Police Station Dharamkund and was executed in the presence of a police team and an Executive Magistrate, ensuring full compliance with legal procedures.
This action marks a significant milestone in the ongoing investigation into unlawful and subversive activities in the region. It highlights the Ramban Police's dedication to neutralising the threats to National security and maintaining peace and order.
The Ramban Police, in collaboration with other agencies, remain resolute in their mission to take a stringent measure against individuals and entities involved in activities threatening the sovereignty and integrity of the Nation.
Earlier on April 5, the Ramban Police had attached two properties in the Gool area under UAPA. This action is part of an ongoing investigation into unlawful activities in the region.
The properties attached include agricultural land measuring 10.18 Kanals, which is now officially recorded in the revenue records. One of the attached plots is 7 Kanals and 3 Marlas of land, registered in the name of Mohd Sharief, a resident of Dalwah Tehsil, Gool. The other plot, measuring 3 Kanals and 15 Marlas, is registered in the name of Mohd Younis, a resident of Hara Tehsil, Gool.
Both properties are located in different villages within the Gool area and are now prohibited from being sold or transferred under the UAPA. The attachment was carried out following the investigation of a case registered under FIR No. 04/2024, with sections related to criminal conspiracy and terrorism under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the UAPA.
