NIA attaches property of terrorist arrested for killing 2 migrant workers in Kashmir | India News – Times of India

SRINAGAR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached the immovable property of a key terror accused arrested for the brutal killing of two migrant workers in Srinagar in Feb this year.
The accused, Adil Manzoor Langoo, is linked with The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot.
A statement issued by NIA on Thursday said the weapon used in the crime was recovered, along with ammunition, from the said property located at Zaldagar in Srinagar, which was attached under section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on Wednesday.
Langoo was arrested along with two others, Ahran Rasool Dar and Dawood, for killing two workers from Punjab — Amritpal Singh and Rohit Masih — in Srinagar’s Shalla Kadal area on Feb 7. The shooting was part of a conspiracy, led by their Pakistan-based handler Jahangir, to target innocent civilians in J&K to spread terror, the NIA statement said.
While Jahangir is still at large, Langoo was taken into custody on Feb 12 and is lodged in Srinagar Central Jail. He was chargesheeted along with the other accused in Aug, and is facing trial under various sections of IPC, UA(P)A and the Arms Act, it further said.
“TRF, which surfaced in 2019 as a proxy outfit of LeT, is also designated as a terrorist organisation. It has been responsible for several attacks and killings of non-local civilians in Kashmir, including those belonging to religious minorities. The outfit is also behind several attacks on Indian security forces including local policemen,” the statement added.
