As per a statement issued by the SIA, the case relates to FIR number 03/2023 of Police Station ANTF, which was initially registered by the Anti Narcotics Task Force and later transferred to SIA Kashmir for detailed investigation after larger terror links surfaced.
It said the investigations revealed that the accused, Zameer Ahmad Lone, a resident of Mandiyan Keran in Kupwara and currently operating from PoJK, was actively involved in narco-terror activities aimed at disturbing peace in the Union Territory.
He had already been declared a proclaimed offender by a competent court for evading arrest, the statement said.
It further said that acting on a court order obtained after submission of evidence, the SIA attached land measuring 1 kanal and 14.37 marlas under Khasra number 113 at Mandiyan Keran.
The attachment was carried out in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and revenue officials, following due legal procedure, the statement said.
It said the agency had earlier filed a detailed charge sheet in the case, uncovering links related to drug smuggling, terror funding and cross-border networks. The latest action is aimed at dismantling the financial backbone of terror groups, the statement said.
