Two weeks after Itihad-ul-Muslimeen (IUM) was banned by the Centre, Jammu and Kashmir police registered an FIR against the group after “credible intelligence” found that certain leaders and members of the group continue to involve in ”anti-national” activities.
The FIR was registered in Police Station Pattan in Baramulla district against individuals found involved in unlawful activities despite a ban on their organization.
On March 11, the Centre banned two Awami Action Committee (AAC) headed by Kashmir’s chief cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and JKIM led by Masroor Ansari – for five years for their alleged anti-national activities.
“Despite the ban, credible intelligence indicates that certain leaders and members of JKIM continue to involve in anti-national activities. They have been actively instigating the public against the nation, spreading misinformation and hatred,” police said.
“Taking due cognizance of these violations, Police Station Pattan registered case FIR No. 45/2025 under Sections 10 & 13 of UAPA and Sections 147 & 148 of BNS. Further investigation has been set into motion,” police said.
