The Story in Brief
Baramulla police in Jammu and Kashmir attached property worth nearly Rs 70 lakh on Sunday under a court order in a 2008 terror-related case, Deccan Herald reports. A police official said legal action was taken in a militancy-linked case and the property, valued at Rs 69.82 lakh, was attached.
The attached land, 12 Kanal (1.5 acre), belongs to accused Parvaiz Ahmad Famda. Police also obtained an arrest warrant for another accused from an NIA court in Sopore.
The Indian Opinion
Some may question why property from a 2008 case is attached only now, but the court order shows the legal process was followed. Others see it as firm action against terror financing. The real test will be whether the courts convict the accused and whether such seizures deter future militancy. The number of convictions in older terror cases will determine the effectiveness of this approach.
