J&K Police Attach ₹2 Crore Property Linked to TRF Terrorist Sajad Gul

Jammu & Kashmir Police attached a three-storey house in Rose Avenue, HMT area, Srinagar, worth approx. ₹2 crore, on October 4, 2025.
The house is registered in the name of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh, father of Sajad Gul, but police identified Gul as an “active stakeholder” in the property.
The action was taken under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and based on FIR No. 235/2022 at Police Station Parimpora.
An Executive Magistrate was present during the attachment process.

Police said Sajad Gul was “involved in facilitating terrorism, running anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection” via online and social media platforms.
The property was allegedly used for terrorism-related activities and to spread anti-national propaganda.
Police stated: “This attachment forms part of the ongoing strategy... to disrupt the financial, logistical, and operational networks of terrorism.”

Sajad Ahmad Sheikh alias Sajad Gul is the founder and leader of The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy group.
He is based in Pakistan and was declared a designated terrorist by India's Ministry of Home Affairs in 2022.
Gul was arrested in 2002 with 5 kg of RDX in Delhi, served 10 years, and fled to Pakistan after release.
He has been accused of radicalizing youth and coordinating cross-border terror operations since 2012.

Sajad Gul is accused of masterminding the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists.
TRF claimed responsibility, saying it opposed non-local settlement in Kashmir.
Other attacks linked to Gul include:

2018: Killing of journalist Shujaat Bukhari in Srinagar.
2020-2024: Multiple targeted killings and grenade attacks in Kashmir.
2023-2025: Civilian ambushes and security force attacks in Ganderbal, Baramulla, Bijbehara, and Z-Morh Tunnel.

The police action aims to choke terror funding, logistics, and cross-border support networks.
Authorities said: “The action sends a clear message that individuals or entities aiding terrorism will face strict legal consequences, including the forfeiture of illegally acquired assets.”
