New Delhi, Apr 22: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday attached several properties belonging to a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror operative in a 2017 case of fidayeen attack on a CRPF camp, in which five paramilitary personnel were killed and three seriously injured.

The attachment action, taken under Section 33(1) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, in pursuance of recent orders of the NIA Special Court at Jammu, marks a major step towards dismantling terror outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir.

The immovable properties attached by NIA include several pieces of land and residential premises in Lethpora in the Awantipora police station area of Pulwama district. These properties, deemed to be proceeds of terrorism, belonged to accused Fayaz Ahmed Magray, a resident of Lethpora who was arrested in connection with the case in February 2019, the NIA said in a statement issued here.

The probe agency charged him under various sections of RPC and the UA(P) Act in August 2019, and the trial against him is continuing.

The CRPF camp, located in Lethpora, was attacked on the night of December 30, 2017, by three unknown terrorists armed with sophisticated weapons, explosives, and ammunition. The trio forced their way into the camp and attacked personnel before being killed in retaliatory action.

NIA investigations revealed Fayaz to be an active Over Ground Worker (OGW) of the proscribed JeM terror organisation in South Kashmir. He was found to have participated in meetings with terrorists who planned and executed the deadly attack on the CRPF centre. Along with two other JeM operatives identified as Noor Mohammad Tantray and Mudasir Ahmad Khan, he had also conducted a recce of the target camp, besides arranging weapons for Mudasir and subsequently helping him escape Lethpora. Noor Mohammad was killed in an encounter with security forces before the CRPF camp attack, while Mudasir was killed in another encounter later.
