The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached properties of a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror operative involved in the 2017 fidayeen attack on a Central Reserve Police Force camp. This action was taken under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, following orders from the NIA Special Court at Jammu. The attached properties, including land and residential premises in Lethpora, Pulwama district, are believed to be linked to the accused Fayaz Ahmed Magray.
The accused, Fayaz Ahmed Magray, a resident of Lethpora, was arrested in February 2019 in connection with the case RC.10/2018/NIA/DLI. He was charged under various sections of the Ranbir Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in August 2019, with the trial ongoing. The attack on the Central Reserve Police Force camp in Lethpora in December 2017 involved three terrorists who were armed and eventually killed during the incident.
Fayaz Ahmed Magray, identified as an active Over Ground Worker of Jaish-e-Mohammad in South Kashmir, was found to have been involved in planning and executing the attack on the CRPF camp. He, along with other Jaish operatives, conducted a reconnaissance of the camp and facilitated the escape of one of the attackers. Noor Mohammad Tantray, one of the accomplices, was killed in an encounter before the attack, while another, Mudasir Ahmad Khan, was killed in a subsequent encounter.
