NIA Action in Pulwama

A team of agency personnel seized a two-storey house and a single storey house belonging to Fayaz Ahmad Magray at Lethpora in Pulwama district, officials said here. Magray is accused in the 2017 'fidayeen' attack on a CRPF training centre at Lethpora in which five CRPF personnel were killed. Three terrorists were also eliminated in the encounter that took place after the attack.

 

Legal Basis for Property Seizure

The NIA seizure was carried out on the basis of an order passed by the NIA court in Jammu on March 5 this year.

The National Investigation Agency investigates offences that threaten the security, sovereignty, and integrity of India. NIA cases are directly supervised by the central government and typically involve offences that state police forces are not equipped to handle. The agency has been actively investigating terror-related activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
