Srinagar, October 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday attached a residential property in Srinagar’s Hazratbal area that was allegedly used to shelter Pakistani terrorists linked to the proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) outfit, according to an official press release.
The attached property is located at Khasra No. 315 in Danihama village and belongs to accused Ghulam Mohammad Mir, alias Mama Gas. The action was taken in connection with case RC-02/2026/NIA/JMU, relating to an alleged cross-border terrorist conspiracy involving LeT.
The agency said the property was attached under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, after obtaining prior approval from the NIA Director General.
According to the NIA, its investigation established a direct link between the premises and the alleged terrorist conspiracy. The property was reportedly used to shelter Pakistani terrorists and conceal incriminating material connected with the network.
The case was initially registered as FIR No. 24/2026 on March 31, 2026, at Zakoora Police Station in Srinagar. It was subsequently taken over and re-registered by the NIA.
The agency said its investigation had uncovered an alleged network of local overground workers (OGWs) operating in coordination with Pakistan-based LeT handlers. The network was allegedly involved in facilitating the infiltration, movement, shelter and logistical support of Pakistani terrorists for attacks targeting government establishments, security forces and civilians.
A search conducted on April 6 at Mir’s residential premises in Danihama, Hazratbal, led to the detection of two suspected Pakistani terrorists, identified as Abu Huraira and Khubaib, who were allegedly associated with LeT, the agency said.
An explosive-like substance, digital devices and other incriminating material were also recovered and seized during the search.
The NIA further alleged that Mir had knowingly provided his residence as a safe haven for the terrorists and allowed the premises to be used to facilitate their activities.
The investigation is continuing to identify and expose the wider alleged terror-support network, including other overground workers, facilitators and individuals linked to Pakistan-based handlers, the agency said.
