Kulgam, October 04: In a significant development, the Court of Special Judge (Designated Court under the NIA Act), Kulgam, has issued a Proclamation under Section 84 of BNSS against a wanted terrorist involved in multiple terror-related activities in the district.
The proclamation has been issued against Zakir Ahmad Ganie, son of Ghulam Mohi-ud-din Ganie, resident of Mutalhama, Kulgam. He has been actively involved in unlawful and terror-related activities and is wanted in Case FIR No. 200/2023 registered at Police Station Kulgam under relevant provisions of Sections 13, 16, 18B, 20, and 38 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The Hon’ble Court has granted the accused 30 days’ time to surrender before the competent authority. In the event of his failure to do so, further proceedings under law shall be initiated.
It is pertinent to mention that prior to the proclamation, the Court had already issued an open-ended Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against the accused. Acting on the court directives, a police team led by DySP Headquarters Kulgam pasted the proclamation order at his residential premises and other conspicuous public places within the village to ensure wide publicity and compliance.
This action marks another step in the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to bring absconding terrorists to justice and to dismantle the terror ecosystem in the district.
Speaking on the development, SSP Kulgam Shri Sahil Sarangal-IPS said, “The law will take its due course against those involved in terrorism. We remain committed to ensuring peace, stability, and the safety of our citizens. Such actions reflect our resolve to bring every offender before justice and to uproot the menace of terrorism from the district.”
