Srinagar, August 7 (KDC): Counter Intelligence Kashmir said on Thursday that in an important success in the ongoing efforts to end the financial and logistic support system of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the court of the Special Judge (NIA) nominated under the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has accused a high-profile torrent. 13, 38, 39, 40 read with Section 120-B of IPC of illegal activities (prevention) Act, 1967.
In a statement by Kashmir.com, a spokesperson of CIK said the allegations have been implicated against two accused persons: Shabir Ahmed Bhat, S/O GH. Mohammad Bhat R/O Khadramoh Kakpora and Javad Ahmed Yatu S/O AB. Majid R/O Patbag Pampor, while criminal proceedings have also been launched against Pakistan -based late handle Sumama alias Babar alias Ilyas, who is also an accused in the case. The investigation was organized by the Police Station Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK).
The case relates to a careful prepared criminal conspiracy, which is orchestrated by Handers and Commanders of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET), an accused from the line of control (LOC), which is a close coordination with Pakistani citizens located in gulf countries and other foreign areas in Jammu and Kashmir. These funds were being rooted using a courier with camouflage as pilgrims, migrants and traders through a streamlined network, caming an illegal financial flow under the guise of religious and commercial trips.
During the investigation, it was decisively established that Shabir Ahmed Bhat was in constant and safe digital communication with Pakistan -based late handle Sumama alias Babar aka Ilyas, using an encrypted messaging applications. In Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, Shabir Ahmed Bhat, on the instructions of the handler, received a large amount of Saudi Rial from the late Condits known in Madina. Additionally, he coordinated with other Kashmiri residents who traveled to Umrah, instructed them to collect funds from specific persons whose identity and locations were shared by him. On returning to Kashmir, these couriers handed over the funds to Shabir Ahmed Bhat, who then converted foreign currency into Indian rupee and distributed funds among active terrorists and their families, according to late handlers.
The investigation also revealed the important role of Shabir Ahmed Bhat and another accused Javed Ahmed Yatu in establishing and establishing contacts between the late handlers in Pakistan. His participation contributed significantly to enabling the functioning of this trans-national funding module.
In the case, the counter intelligence is an important milestone in the continuous efforts of Kashmir to identify, expose and decompose the terrorist funding network working under the framing radar. This highlights the effectiveness of intelligence-demonetisation and legally strong investigations executed within the limit of the appropriate process, to target the financial spine of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Another development, two more people: Mohammad Ayub Bhat S/O Ghulam Mohammad Bhat R/O Kothipora Chatgam, Budgam and Mohammad Rafiq Shah S/O Sharif You Din Shah R/O Hig Colony, Green Park, Anjum Masjid also near Kamariwari. Further investigation seized electronic devices, bank statements, transactions logs and other documents, which highlights a deep embedded and secret havildar infrastructure used to fund terrorism. These recoveries have confirmed the existence of a well -structured, underground financial network that maintains terrorism in the region. Additional co-speculators are likely to arrest as the investigation is on.
The CIK confirms its commitment to continuously pursue all individuals and networks involved in terrorism facility through financial or other means and will continue to act as a frontline agency of J&K police in the government’s widespread anti-terrorism architecture, reading the statement. (KDC)
