Fact-Check
The DFRAC team fact-checked the claim shared above. A Google keyword search regarding the claim led us to the latest reports from various media outlets, such as Greater Kashmir, Rising Kashmir, and Kashmir Reader. The reports stated that the property of Bilal Ahmd which includes land measuring 16 marlas along with a two-storey residential house under Survey No. 1821, has been formally attached as the proceeds of the terrorism.
In addition, the reports cited that the said accused was involved in providing shelter to the then LeT commander and his associate terrorist who were neutralized at his house on 3rd June 2024.
The steps taken regarding the attachment of the property is to deter the use of terror finances for personal gains and dismantling the terror support network.
Further probe into the case is underway.
Conclusion
It is evident from DFRAC’s fact-check that the claim has been misleadingly shared on social media platform X. As per reports, the accused’s property was attached by the security forces due to his involvement in providing shelter to militants.
