January 3, 2026

Special court orders attachment of immovable properties

Police on Friday attached immovable properties belonging to seven individuals from Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district who are allegedly involved in anti-national activities while operating from Pakistan, officials said.

The action was carried out following orders issued by a special court in connection with multiple cases registered at the Malhar police station. The attached assets include over 10 kanals of land located in the Lohai Malhar area of Kathua district, collectively valued at crores of rupees.

Officials said a proclamation had earlier been issued against the accused, all residents of Tehsil Lohai Malhar, who are currently believed to be staying in Pakistan.

“As the accused continued to evade the law, police, with the assistance of the revenue department, identified and attached their immovable properties after completing all legal formalities under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS),” a police officer said.

Accused named in the case

The individuals whose properties have been attached were identified as Mohd Ayaz alias Adeel Ansari, Abdul Kareem alias Bitta, Sarfraz Nawaz alias Nawaz Ahmad, Mohd Farooq alias Farooq Ahmed, Mohd Hafeez, Gul Mohammad, and Akhter Ali alias Niku, officials said.

Police said the move is part of sustained action against individuals involved in anti-national activities, particularly those operating from across the border, and reflects a zero-tolerance approach towards threats to national security.
