NIA attaches property of Mushtaq Zargar released in Kandahar plane hijack
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday attached property of terrorist Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar, who along with two other militants was released in exchange of passengers of the hijacked Indian Airlines plane in 1999, officials said here.
An NIA spokesperson said that Zargar alias ‘Latram’ was wanted in several terror related cases, including kidnapping of daughter of the then Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed in 1989.
Terming it as a “major offensive” against terrorists operating from the Pakistani soil, the spokesperson said that Zargar’s two marlas (544 sq feet) house (Khasra No. 182) at Ganai Mohalla, Jamia Masjid, Nowhatta, Srinagar, has been attached under the provisions of stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
