Srinagar, Sep 3: Police in Jammu and Kashmir have attached two buildings, six shops, and two kanals of land belonging to the proscribed Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) in Sopore, officials said on Thursday.
The action was taken under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, following a probe into a case registered at Police Station Sopore, they said.
“FIR No. 42/2025 was registered under Sections 10 and 13 of the UA(P) Act. During investigation, the properties were found to be linked with the banned organisation,” a police spokesperson said.
The Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, on August 12, 2026, notified the premises — Islamia Model School, Dooru (closed since 2022), six shops, and two kanals of land — under Section 8(1) of the UA(P) Act, the official said.
The District Magistrate, Baramulla, subsequently issued orders under Sections 8(3) and 8(4) of the Act following a request from Sopore Police. A police team, accompanied by the Executive Magistrate, carried out the attachment on the ground, the spokesperson added.
The police said the action was part of ongoing efforts to identify and legally proceed against properties linked to proscribed organisations and their networks.
