The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police has obtained non-bailable warrants (NBWs) against the chief of the United Jihad Council (UJC) and three other members of Hizbul Mujahideen. These warrants were issued in connection with a 1996 case under various legal sections related to unlawful activities and terrorism. The CIK spokesperson highlighted that this action is part of a broader crackdown on terrorist operatives.
In a significant move to disrupt terror networks and uphold the rule of law, Counter Intelligence Kashmir has secured NBWs against four accused individuals linked to Hizbul Mujahideen. The warrants were issued by the Court of the Additional Sessions Judge, TADA/POTA, Srinagar, following a thorough review of the case records and testimonies. The accused include prominent figures within the terror outfit, with allegations ranging from involvement in terror-related activities to anti-India propaganda dissemination.
The accused individuals identified in the warrants are Mohd Yousuf Shah (Syed Salahuddin), Ghulam Nabi Khan (Amir Khan), Sher Mohammad (Bahadur/Riyaz), and Nasir Yousuf Qadri. These individuals are associated with Hizbul Mujahideen and are allegedly linked to various unlawful activities, including recruitment, coordination of terror-related operations, and anti-India propaganda dissemination. The warrants underscore the gravity of the charges against them and the necessity for their custodial examination.
The case, originating in 1996, revolves around the motivation and facilitation of Kashmiri youth by Pakistan-based handlers to undergo terrorist training. The accused individuals are believed to have played significant roles in radicalization, recruitment, and facilitation of terrorist activities. Despite efforts to apprehend them, the accused have evaded arrest, prompting the court to issue NBWs for their immediate production. The CIK’s commitment to pursuing terror-related cases and ensuring national security is reiterated through this legal action.
