Earlier, non-bailable warrants were issued against 13 militants.
“Thirty-six individuals from Kishtwar went to Pakistan after joining terrorism over a period of time. Subsequently, two FIRs were registered against them to bring them to book,” police officials said.
While a special NIA court issued non-bailable warrants against 13 of them on March 1, a fresh non-bailable warrant was issued against the rest of the 23 militants on Tuesday.
“We want to arrest all of them and are approaching Interpol so that a Red Corner notice is issued. The process has already been initiated and we are sure to arrange their presence in the court of law,” the officials said.
They said the fresh non-bailable warrants have been issued in a case registered at Police Station Chatroo under various Sections of the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Chief Investigation Officer, DySP Vishal Sharma under the supervision of SSP Kishtwar Khalil Poswal approached the Special NIA Court for issuance of the warrants against the accused for their active involvement in terror activities and creating unrest in Kishtwar and Doda districts and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
“They (the militants hiding in Pakistan) mobilised sleeper cells and pushed them into J-K in connivance with secessionist and separatist leaders for waging war against the Government of India with nefarious design of seceding Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India,” the officials said.
They expressed hope that Pakistan will cooperate in the arrest and deportation of the militants.
“Pakistan is duty bound to extend their cooperation in accordance with international law. We are involving the Interpol to ensure the arrest of the absconders. If Pakistan fails to cooperate, it will get exposed,” the officials said.
They said various revenue teams have also been formed to identify the properties of the militants for attachment as per the law.
