Pakistan-based handler’s Rs 7-cr property attached

Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday said in a significant crackdown against terror funding and anti-national activities, Bandipora police have attached immovable property and a residential house of a Pakistan-based handler.

A police spokesperson said land measuring over 33 kanals and valued at Rs 6.93 crore, and a residential house worth Rs 50 lakh have been attached.

The property belongs to Farooq Ahmad Shah alias Rehmani, son of Abdul Ahad Shah, a Pakistan-based handler and resident of Onagam, Bandipora.

The police said the action has been taken in connection with a case registered at Bandipora police station.

The police said Farooq Ahmad Shah has been actively involved in facilitating and promoting militant activities in the region at the behest of his handlers in Pakistan.

“The attachment of his properties serves as a stern warning to those who engage in or support anti-national activities,” the police said.
