Srinagar: The properties of nearly 168 Kashmiri militants currently operating from Pakistan are to be seized by the Jammu and Kashmir police, The Tribune reported.
The Police had recently received a directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs India to begin taking action against militants, which included 118 from Doda, 36 from Kishtwar, and 14 from Rajouri and Poonch districts.
The order came after attacks on the Kashmiri Pandits in several areas of JK. The militants, originally from JK, and currently located in various locations of Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir are responsible for the majority of the attacks, the report said.
The report quoting Doda SSP Abdul Qayoom said that out of 118 militants from the district based outside JK, 10 are the most active and have been trying to recruit local youth into militancy. “Two among them have been declared individual terrorists and two proclaimed offenders,” the SSP told the newspaper.
He said the police are likely to soon seize properties of many militants from Doda, including Mohammad Irshad, alias Idrees, who has been designated terrorist by the MHA.
