1 August 2023, Mumbai: Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) took decisive action on Tuesday by attaching the property of a terrorist operating from Pakistan in Kupwara district, north Kashmir. The land measuring 6 Kanals and 3 Marlas, owned by Adul Rashid Qureshi alias Farooq Qureshi, was identified and seized following an extensive intelligence-driven investigation.
SIU’s Meticulous Investigation Leads to Property Attachment
The SIU, through meticulous investigations in connection with FIR No.276/2022 at Police Station Kupwara, successfully pinpointed and attached the terrorist’s property at multiple locations within the district’s Kachama village. The measures were taken under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act to disrupt his illicit network and limit his ability to perpetrate further acts of terror.
Farooq Qureshi: A Persistent Threat to Peace
The attached property belongs to Farooq Qureshi, also known as Farooq Qureshi, who has been a constant menace to the peace and security of Jammu and Kashmir. He fled to Pakistan in the early 1990s and currently operates as the launching commander for the Al-Barq terror outfit from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). His strategic involvement in multiple acts of terror has caused significant suffering and loss of innocent lives in the valley.
Police’s Strong Message to Terrorists
The attachment of Farooq Qureshi’s property sends a strong message to terrorists and their supporters that their actions will not go unnoticed or unpunished. Jammu and Kashmir Police remain firmly committed to combating terrorism at its roots and dismantling its infrastructure. This measure serves as a stern warning to those attempting to disrupt peace and security in the region.
SIU’s Determination to Safeguard the Union Territory
The Special Investigation Unit’s swift action in identifying and seizing the terrorist’s property demonstrates their determination to safeguard the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir from threats of terrorism. By disrupting the illicit network and restricting the terrorist’s operations, the police aim to protect the citizens and ensure a secure environment for all.
In the face of persistent threats, Jammu and Kashmir Police stand resolute in their fight against terrorism, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to preserving peace and security in the region. The attachment of Farooq Qureshi’s property is a significant step towards curbing the influence of terrorists and maintaining stability in the valley.
