J&K: NIA attaches Hizbul terrorist’s property in Sopore


The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday attached the property of a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sopore city.
The NIA attached the property of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen commander Basit Reshi in Sopore area of North Kashmir’s Baramulla district. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has declared Basit Reshi, “currently in Pakistan”, as a designated “terrorist” under the UAPA, a draconian act to control extremist activities.
The NIA action against Basit Reshi comes a day after the agency attached the property of Al-Umar terror group founder Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar in Srinagar city.
The NIA attached the property of Basit Reshi in Dangerpora area of Sopore city for his involvement in ‘subversive activities and coordination of targeted killings’ in J&K.
The agency claims that Reshi planned and executed an attack on a police post at Tujar Sheriff near Sopore on August 18, 2015, in which a policeman and a civilian were killed.
