The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday (June 17, 2026) attached two plots of land in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), officials said.

The plots measuring 7.5 marla (2,050 square feet) and 6 marla (1,632 square feet) in Kanispora belong to Shaheen Ahmad Lone, an accused in a case registered by the NIA in 2020, the officials said. The attachment was carried out on the basis of an order issued by a designated NIA court in Jammu under Section 33 (1) of the UAPA.

The attachment is part of the NIA's high-profile investigation into a deep-rooted conspiracy involving the banned terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen and Pakistani State agencies to fuel terrorism in India.

The investigation focuses on the illegal arms network, terror funding and the interception of Hizbul terrorists alongside former Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Devender Singh.
