Srinagar- Continuing its crackdown against Jama’at-e-Islami (JeM), the Special Investigative Agency (SIA) of police on Monday sealed assets worth crores of now banned socio-political organization in North Kashmir’s Kupwara district after getting approval from the district administration.
The property worth Rs 3 crore has been barred with restrictions on usage and entry through a notification issued on Monday by District Magistrate Kupwara, on the recommendation of SIA, an official statement said.
The action has been taken by the DM in exercise of the powers conferred under section 8 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 & Notification No. 14017/7/2019, dated 28- February- 2019 of Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
The spokesperson said that the move was aimed to choke availability of funds for secessionist activities and to dismantle the ecosystem of anti-national elements & terror networks hostile to India’s national security, sovereignty, integrity and unity.
The property, he said, comprises a complex with 20 shops along with appurtenant land falling under survey number 2990/2666/270 and survey number 3551/2979/263 has been sealed and entry, usage barred, has been prohibited.
Additionally, he said, “Red entry” to this effect has been made in the relevant revenue records.
“With this SIA Kashmir has got 57 properties of JeI notified till date. The action, it is expected, would significantly dent terror funding in J&K besides being another major step in restoring rule of law & a society without fear,” the spokesperson said.
The SIA, he said, has identified as many as 188 JeI properties across the UT of J&K which have either been notified or are under the process of being notified for further legal action.
“These are as a result of investigation of case FIR number 17 of 2019 U/S 10, 11 & 13 of Police Station Batmaloo being investigated by SIA,” the spokesperson added.
