Twelve cases have been registered against land and house owners in Jammu city for allegedly failing to provide details of their tenants to the local police for their verification, an official spokesperson said.
“Taking strict action, Jammu police registered twelve FIRs against house/land owners in subdivision south zone for violating District Magistrate’s order under Section 163 BNSS who failed to provide the information/details of tenants/outsiders residing across the district to district police Jammu,” an official informed.
The verification process was initiated after several instances of anti-national elements staying in residential areas in the guise of tenants and domestic help came to the fore in Jammu.
During this drive, 10 FIRs were registered against landlords at Bahu Fort belt and two in Channi Himmat area under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), he added.
The district magistrate has already issued the orders for the owners to get the police verification of the tenants done in the jurisdiction of Jammu district. Police have appealed to the residents to come forward and provide the complete details of their tenants and domestic helpers.
