SRINAGAR, Aug 19: Authorities on Tuesday attached property belonging to designated terrorist Asif Maqbool Dar, who is presently operating from across the border, in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, police said.
The action was taken in connection with an FIR registered at Parimpora police station under various sections of the IPC and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
“In a major step towards dismantling terror networks and their support structures, Srinagar Police has attached orchard land measuring three kanals and 18 marlas, valued at approximately ₹1 crore, belonging to designated terrorist Asif Maqbool Dar,” a police spokesperson said. The property is located at Bandi Payeen, Baramulla, he added.
Proceedings were initiated under Section 25 of the UAPA, which empowers authorities to attach property used or intended to be used for terrorist activities.
Although the land is formally held in the name of his father, Mohammad Maqbool, a resident of Bandi Payeen and presently living at HIG Colony, Bemina, investigations revealed that Dar is an active stakeholder.
“Dar has been involved in facilitating terrorism, spreading anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection against the government through various social media platforms for several years,” the spokesperson said.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has already designated Dar as a terrorist. Officials said the attachment is part of a larger strategy aimed at disrupting the financial, logistical, and operational ecosystem of terror networks and their cross-border sponsors.
