The State Investigation Agency (SIA) Jammu has intensified its pursuit of justice by filing a supplementary chargesheet against six additional accused in a case related to terror funding in India. This development brings the total number of accused to 18, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

Accused and Charges Under Various Acts

Mohd Sharief Chechi, Farooq Ahmad Jungal, and Saif Din, recently apprehended by SIA, now face charges under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967, Narcotic Drug Psychotropic Substance Act, and Indian Penal Code. The charges include criminal conspiracy, fundraising for the proscribed terrorist organization Hizb-ul-Mujahideen. SIA Jammu’s diligent efforts have led to the seizure of Rs 10 lac and freezing of over Rs 70 lac in bank accounts—proceeds from narcotics smuggled from PoK.

Evasion and Cross-Border Involvement

Three accused, Hamidullah Khuroo, Farooq Ahmad Shawl, and Javid Ahmad Chalkoo, identified as HM terrorists, are currently evading arrest and believed to be in Pakistan. The SIA statement highlights their involvement in smuggling heroin from PoK, with operations spanning Uri, Hathlanga, Baramulla, and the subsequent transportation and sale of heroin in Jammu. The generated funds were intended for delivery to Over Ground Workers (OGWs) of HM, amplifying the threat to national security.

Preventing Infiltration of Terror Funds

SIA Jammu’s fourth chargesheet and subsequent arrests have thwarted the influx of significant amounts of money into channels supporting terror activities. The agency’s proactive measures have safeguarded the lives of numerous youths, preventing them from being ensnared in illicit pursuits. The chargesheets underscore the commitment to curbing anti-national activities and preserving the sovereignty, integrity, and security of India.

Uncovering a Well-Organized Drug Syndicate

SIA’s investigation has unveiled a well-organized drug syndicate operating across borders. Farooq Ahmad Naikoo, based in Dubai, along with Mohd Rafiq Najar, Mubashir Mushtaq Fafoo, Ainaz Ahmad Sayam, Mohd Sharief Chechi, Farooq Ahmad Jungal, and Saif Din, collaborated with HM terrorists Farooq Ahmad Shawl, Hamidullah Khuroo, Tariq Ahmad Malla, and Javid Chalkoo in Pakistan. The syndicate orchestrated the infusion of narcotics into Indian territory, transporting them to Jammu to generate substantial narco-terror funds, earmarked for funding secessionist and terror activities.
