    SRINAGAR: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) Jammu conducted raids at three locations in Kashmir valley, including Pampore, Rajpora, and Barzulla, in connection with a hawala money case registered against former Minister Jatinder Singh, also known as Babu Singh. The SIA teams carried out the raids early in the morning to investigate the alleged hawala funds transactions in Babu Singh’s case.

    During the raids, the SIA searched the house of Yasmeen Raja, the daughter of the late Ghulam Nabi Bhat, a female separatist Hurriyat leader, in Tulbagh, Pampore town, and two other locations. Mohammad Shafi Lone’s house at New Colony, Near Masjid Sharief at Rajpora, Pulwama, and Imtiyaz Ahmad Shah alias Imtiaz Autowala’s house in Barzulla were also raided. The searches were conducted after obtaining a search warrant from the Court in connection with a case registered at the Police Station Gandhi Nagar last year, which was later transferred to SIA Jammu.

    During the searches, electronic gadgets were seized from Yasmeen Raja’s house in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and independent witnesses. The SIA has already produced a preliminary charge sheet in the case, along with three supplementary charge sheets. Nine accused are in judicial custody, while three accused are absconding and operating from Pakistan.

    The court has initiated proceedings to attach the property of the absconding accused persons under Sections 82 and 83 CrPC. Sources said that the properties of the absconding accused are being identified for attachment, and the action is expected to be taken shortly.

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police has undertaken a significant move by attaching a property belonging to Amarbhir Singh of Baba Darshan Singh Enclave at Ram Tirath Mahal in Amritsar.

    Singh has been accused of funding militancy in Jammu and Kashmir and has been on the run for quite some time. He was reportedly living in Dubai and wanted in many cases in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.

    As per The Tribune, The attachment of the property is a result of the SIA’s investigation into the seizure of Rs 15 lakh hawala money at Nagrota in Jammu. The agency has taken the help of the Punjab Police to attach the property of Singh in the presence of an executive magistrate in compliance with the court orders.

    “Further investigation has revealed that the sum seized was being transported from Punjab to Kashmir to finance the terror activities of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM),” an official said.

    The State Investigation Agency (SIA) has taken its first action outside of Jammu and Kashmir in this case, according to SIA DSP Bhupinder Kumar.

    The SIA has been active in its efforts to combat terrorism and has arrested two JeM associates in 2021, filing charges against them for terror financing. The associates, identified as Parvez and Farooq, were in close contact with handlers across the border and with terrorists in South Kashmir and Punjab, and conspired with militants Muzamil Malik and Ashiq Nengroo to move terror funds to be distributed among JeM operatives in Kashmir for launching attacks in India.

  • Funding Case: Multiple Raids Conducted Across Kashmir: SIA

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar, March 18: State Investigation Agency of Police on Saturday said that it carried multiple raids accross Kashmir valley regarding funding case.

    In a handout to GNS, the SIA said that it has launched early morning searches at 8 different places to investigate the tributaries and distributaries of slush funds flowing through the known secessionist Maulavi Sarjan Barkati of south Kashmir,ill famous for mobilising thousands onto streets during 2016 violent agitation, through his incendiary oratory. Known as pied piper, Sarjan Barkati used to openly invite and incite youth to take to violence and pull down the Indian state in J&K.

    According to spokesman, SIA have registered a case FIR No 02/23 related to Crowd funding against Sarjan Barkati and others in which he has raised huge funds amounting more than 1.5 Crore, with his family making emotional appeals to general public to support them for day to day needs. Under this garb he not only generated huge funds but prima facia also laundered money coming from unknown sources suspected to have originated from militant outfits for further use in sustaining the secessionist-militancy campaign.

    So far SIA have identified 10 suspects whose involvement has surfaced in the initial investigation. The early morning raids spread over many districts of Kashmir are underway, he said.

    Each search is backed by search warrants issued by competent court, Magistrates, local police assistance, lady police team, spotters, and transport support by Security wing of J&K police, he said.

    With the seizures of electronic gadgets, incriminating material and other corroborative evidence during these searches, SIA is hopeful that the searches would enable it to extract some vital evidence as to who all have contributed to the Sarjan Barkati fund, what was the source of such money, how much of it was from legitimate income and how much from unaccountable sources, whether such sources had anything to do with militant and Hurriyat finances, he said.

    Preliminary investigations have shown Sarjan Barkati has diverted a substantial part of the funds for his personal benefit and purchased a piece of land worth ₹45 Lakhs in Anantnag town in the name of his wife which he sold for ₹72 Lakhs, making a profit of ₹27 Lakhs and has also built a palatial house using public money. He has also purchased 5 Kanals of land to establish a Madrassa which as per credible information is meant for making money and provide platform to anti national elements and also aimed to be a breeding ground for luring youth towards militancy, he said.

    A large chunk of such ill-gotten money has been deposited in several FDRs in the name of his family members. Not only has the accused breached the public trust with emotional blackmail by building a personal fortune on the crowd funds donated to him by public for the daily sustenance, he as well camouflaged money coming from suspects sources under the garb of crowd funding for furtherance of secessionist-militant campaign, reads the statement.(GNS)
