NIA attaches properties of Hizbul Chief Salahuddin’s sons
The immovable properties of the sons of designated terrorist Syed Salahuddin, United Jihad Council (UJC) chairman and the self-styled Supreme commander of pro-Pakistan Hizbul Mujahideen, were attached by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Kashmir valley on Monday.
The duo, working as fundraisers for the terrorist outfit, are currently lodged in Tihar jail.
According to a statement issued by the NIA, “The immovable properties of Shahid Yusuf and Syed Ahmed Shakeel, located in Kashmir – in Soibugh Tehsil, Budgam and Nursing Garh, Mohalla Ram Bagh, have been attached under section 33(1) of UA( P) Act.
The NIA on Monday also seized six shops in Awantipora in a case relating to a 2018 attack on CRPF Group Centre at Lethpora, J&K.
Some land, including a house, belonging to the father of one of the accused was also attached in the same case in September 2020.
In 2021, NIA had attached residential properties belonging to the kin of two accused in the case of the terrorist attack on the CRPF Convoy at Lethpora, Pulwama. Another residential property has also been attached by NIA in the case relating to the killing of two brothers (Anil Parihar and Ajit Parihar).
Both the sons of Syed Salahuddin were arrested in October 2017 and August 2018. They were charge-sheeted on 20th April 2018 and 20th November 2018, respectively. The duo had been receiving funds from abroad from the associates of their father and overground workers of Hizbul Mujahideen.
Syed Salahudeen, who had fled to Pakistan in 1993, was designated as an individual terrorist by India in October 2020.
Besides instigating and operationalizing militant activities in India, primarily in Kashmir valley, Syed Salahudeen has been raising funds and routing finances to India through trade routes, Hawala channels, and international money transfer channels furthering the terrorist activities of HM cadres.
The NIA launched investigations in November 2011 into the criminal conspiracy to raise/ collect/ provide funds to commit terrorist acts and distribute funds among the terror groups and their sympathizers in Jammu and Kashmir for the purpose of committing terrorist acts. The Special Cell of Delhi Police had initially registered a case in January 2011 and the case was subsequently taken over by NIA.
Chargesheets and Supplementary Chargesheets were filed against eight accused in the case, including in 2011 and 2018.
NIA has been cracking down on terror funding machinery in a bid to dismantle the terrorist financing ecosystem operating in Jammu and Kashmir with the help of individuals based in Pakistan and other countries.
