The terrorists are presently operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and the attachment of their properties was part of the efforts to dismantle the terror ecosystem in the Union Territory, he said.

The official said Najab Din and Mohd Latif of village Kirni and Mohd Bashir alias “Tikka Khan” of Qasba had earlier fled across the border and were actively engaged in promoting terrorism, disturbing peace and threatening social harmony in Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that the action was taken in compliance with the court order in connection with a case registered at Police Station Poonch in 2022, adding the step underscores the firm commitment of police to take strong action against individuals involved in terrorism and activities that disrupt social harmony.

The attachment proceedings were carried out by a police team along with revenue officials, the official said. — PTI
