Immovable property of Pakistan based terror handler attached by Poonch Police

In a decisive action against terrorism and anti-national elements operating from across the border, Poonch Police on Friday attached an immovable property belonging to a Pakistan-based terror handler, Jamal Lone @ Jamala, in compliance with the directions of the Court.

According to the police, the attachment has been effected in connection with an FIR registered at Police Station Mandi under Sections 2/3 of the Egress and Internal Movement (Control) (E&IMCO) Act.

The attached property comprises 06 Kanal 13.5 Marlas of land valued at Rs.13.36 lakh near the Line of Control (LoC).

The attached property belongs to Jamal Lone @ Jamala, resident of Chamber Kanari, Tehsil Mandi, District Poonch, who is presently operating as a Pakistan-based terror handler.

The accused had earlier exfiltrated to Pakistan and has since been actively involved in activities inimical to the security and sovereignty of the nation.

Owing to his continued evasion of the legal process, the accused was declared a proclaimed offender by the court. Despite sustained efforts by Poonch Police to secure his arrest, he remained beyond the reach of law, compelling the court to order attachment of his immovable property.

Acting upon these directions, the attachment was executed by the Poonch Police in close coordination with the Revenue Department after following all due legal procedures, verification, and documentation.

This action forms part of a broader and sustained strategy to dismantle the financial and logistical support structures of terror networks and to ensure that individuals involved in terrorism and anti-national activities are deprived of their resources, Police said.

The Poonch Police has reiterated its unwavering commitment to act firmly and lawfully against Pakistan-based terror handlers and all elements involved in activities prejudicial to national security and assures the public that such measures will continue in the interest of peace, public safety, and sovereignty of the nation.

In another crackdown against the narco-terror ecosystem, the Competent Authority under the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act (SAFEMA) has confirmed the attachment of a residential property belonging to a notorious drug peddler in District Poonch.

The attached property worth Rs 60 lakhs belongs to Sajjad Hussain Shah, a resident of Tehsil Surankote, a habitual offender involved in multiple cases registered under the NDPS Act.

The residential house, valued at approximately Rs 60 lakh, was earlier seized by the Police Station Surankote and has now been formally confirmed for forfeiture under SAFEMA after completion of due legal procedures.
