NIA Attaches 7.5 Marlas of Land in Baramulla Under UAPA Provisions

Baramulla: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday attached an immovable property belonging to an arrested accused in the Kanispora area of north Kashmir Baramulla district as part of its ongoing investigation into an alleged illegal arms case.
Officials said the attached property belongs to Shaheen Ahmad Lone, son of late Nazir Ahmad Lone. The property comprises 7.5 marlas of land under Survey No. 1192, situated in Kanispora village of Baramulla district.
According to officials, the attachment was carried out under Section 33(1) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA) in connection with NIA case RC-01/2020/NIA/JMU. The action is part of the agency’s legal proceedings against individuals allegedly involved in unlawful and terror-related activities.
Officials stated that the attachment followed an order issued by the Special NIA Court, Jammu, dated April 30, 2026, authorizing the seizure of the immovable property.
The NIA said the move is aimed at preventing the use, transfer, or disposal of assets allegedly linked to individuals facing charges under anti-terror laws. Property attachment is considered a significant legal measure in cases involving terror funding, illegal arms networks, and other activities deemed a threat to national security.
Lone was earlier arrested by the NIA in the alleged illegal arms case and is presently lodged in Tihar Jail, New Delhi, officials added.
The investigation into the case remains ongoing, and further legal proceedings are expected in the coming weeks.
