SRINAGAR 4th Mar: Two weeks after he was shot dead in Pakistan, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday attached property of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Bashir Ahmad Peer in the Kupwara district.
The property of Peer, a resident of the Babarpora area of Kralpora in the north Kashmir district, included a piece of land measuring over 1.5 kanal.
In a major setback to the Hizb-Ul-Mujahideen, the launching commander of the outfit Bashir Ahmad Peer alias Imtiyaz Alam was killed in Rawalpindi in Pakistan on February 21 after an assailant shot at him from point-blank range outside a shop.
On October 4, the Centre designated him as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for his role in terror activities including providing logistics to the banned outfit’s terrorists especially for infiltration into the Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier this week, the NIA had attached the property of the founder and self-styled chief commander of the Al-Umar Mujahideen, Mushtaq Zargar alias Latram in Srinagar and the property of The Resistance Front (TRF) operative Basit Ahmad Reshi in Baramulla district.
