SRINAGAR, May 15: Immovable property of a proclaimed offender of terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) operating from across the Line of Control (LoC) was on Friday attached in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, police said.
As part of the sustained crackdown on the terror ecosystem and anti-national elements, Sopore Police attached immovable property of a proclaimed offender involved in a case registered at Panzalla Police Station under the E&IMCO Act, a police spokesperson said.
The proclaimed offender was identified as Ghulam Mohammad Bhat alias Hyder, a resident of Rohama Rafiabad area of the north Kashmir district, he said.
Investigations have revealed that the accused had illegally crossed over to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir for obtaining illegal arms and ammunition training and is linked with the banned terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen, the spokesperson said.
