In a significant move against terrorism, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have seized the property of a Pakistan-settled terrorist in the Banihal tehsil of Ramban district. This action, executed on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, underscores the ongoing efforts to combat unlawful and subversive activities in the region.

The attached property consists of agricultural land measuring 1 Kanal 1 Marla, registered under the name of Mohd Saleem, a resident of Takia Tethar, Banihal. Saleem is wanted in connection with a case at the Banihal Police Station and has been evading legal proceedings by absconding to Pakistan. After declaring Saleem a proclaimed offender, the Court ordered the attachment of his property. The attachment was carried out by a police team accompanied by an Executive Magistrate, ensuring adherence to all legal protocols.

According to a police spokesman, this action is a major step in investigating unlawful activities in the area. It highlights the Ramban Police's commitment to neutralizing threats to national security and maintaining peace. The police, along with other agencies, are determined to take strict action against individuals and groups involved in activities that threaten the nation's sovereignty and integrity.

This move is part of a broader effort by the Indian government to target terrorists operating from across the border. It was reported in 2023 that approximately 4,200 terrorists who had fled Jammu and Kashmir and are now residing in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir have been designated as "proclaimed offenders," with their properties subject to seizure.

Security experts have advised the government to focus on dismantling terror networks both within Jammu and Kashmir and in Pakistan to eradicate terrorism. The Jammu and Kashmir police have been actively working to seize properties belonging to militants living across the border for the past three decades.

The recent action by the Jammu and Kashmir Police is a clear indication of the government's resolve to combat terrorism and maintain peace and order in the region.
