Shopian, Sept 30, KNT: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday attached the property of a man it described as a “hard-core terror associate” in south Kashmir’s Shopian district. Officials said the action was taken under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) as part of an ongoing probe into militant financing and support structures.
The individual has been identified as Tariq Ahmad Mir, a resident of Maldeera village in Shopian. His house was formally attached following due legal process, with notices pasted on the premises by NIA personnel and local police.
Officials said that Mir was found to be an active associate providing support to militants operating in the region. “The property has been attached after evidence established his role in aiding and abetting unlawful activities. Such assets will not be allowed to be used for harbouring militants or supporting their logistics,” they said.

Over the past year, the NIA has attached dozens of properties belonging to alleged overground workers and individuals accused of facilitating militant activities. [KNT]
