UAPA Case: NIA Team reaches Srinagar
The office building of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) in Srinagar’s Rajbagh area today attached by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) under the country’s anti-terror law.
The order passed by an NIA court in New Delhi was under the ‘NIA vs Mohammad Hafiz Saeed and others’ case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). In its application, the NIA claimed that there is sufficient evidence against Naeem Khan – the accused Hurriyat leader – who “partly owns the property”.

The agency invoked the provisions of Section 33 (1) of UAPA to seek attachment of the property.
The case has been registered under sections of the Indian Penal Code 120B, 121, 121A, and several sections of the UAPA, including 18, 20, 38, 39, and 40, against Hafiz, a Pakistan-based terrorist, members of the APHC, proscribed terrorist organizations like Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), and others for “funding of separatist and terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir”.
