The Story in Brief
Police in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, have attached a property valued at Rs 69.82 lakh in connection with a 2008 terror-related case. The attachment order, issued by the NIA Court in Sopore, covers 12 kanal and 1 marla (1.5 acre) of land owned by accused Parvaiz Ahmad Famda of Kawhar Bala, Chandoosa. In a related move, the same court issued an arrest warrant against another accused, Abdul Rashid Bhat of Rajpora, Chandoosa. The action is part of ongoing efforts against unlawful activities under FIR No. 02/2008, filed at Chandoosa police station under several anti-terror laws.
The Indian Opinion
Headlines about property attachment in terror cases often invite two predictable reactions: those who see it as a tough, necessary step and those who suspect it targets ordinary citizens to inflate numbers. This Baramulla action appears routine: a single plot worth Rs 69.82 lakh belonging to an accused in a 2008 militancy-linked FIR, with an arrest warrant also issued. The real test will be whether this property is eventually released after trial or forfeited in a fair, transparent process. Numbers alone do not prove effectiveness; convictions and actual disruption of terror financing will settle the question.
