Police today attached property worth Rs 2 crore belonging to designated terrorist Sajad Ahmad Sheikh alias Sajad Gul, who heads the banned The Resistance Front (TRF) and is reportedly now based in Pakistan, in Srinagar district.

The property, built on 15 marlas of land is recorded in the name of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh, father of Sajad Gul, according to revenue records. The house, located at Rose Avenue, HMT, has been attached under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

Police said the attachment was carried out in connection with FIR No. 235/2022 registered at Police Station Parimpora under Sections 13, 38, and 20 of the UAPA, and Sections 2/3 of the Enemy Agents Ordinance (EIMCO) Act. The proceedings were initiated under Section 25 of the UAPA, which empowers authorities to attach properties used or intended to be used for terrorist activities.

Police said the action was executed in the presence of the concerned Executive Magistrate.

Although the property stands in the name of Gul’s father, investigations revealed that he is an active stakeholder. Police said Gul has been involved in facilitating terrorist activities, spreading anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection against the government through online and social media platforms.

“This attachment forms part of the ongoing strategy of Srinagar Police to disrupt the financial, logistical, and operational networks of terrorism, including their cross-border sponsors and sympathizers. The action sends a clear message that individuals or entities aiding terrorism will face strict legal consequences, including the forfeiture of illegally acquired assets,” police said.
