New Delhi. NIA has attached the house of two brothers, accused in a Pak-sponsored narco-terror case, in Amritsar district of Punjab. The residential property of the brothers, Bikramjit Singh@ Bikram Singh @ Vicky and Maninder Singh @ Mani, has been attached under section 25(1) of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967, after its designation as ‘proceeds of terrorism’. The two brothers were earlier arrested by the NIA in the case.
NIA has already filed four Chargesheets (including three supplementary) against 13 accused under the relevant sections of the UAPA, NDPS and IPC in the case, registered on 8th May, 2020.
The case relates to a conspiracy hatched by a narco terror module to smuggle large quantities of drugs into India from Pakistan. The drugs were being smuggled in the garb of rock salt imported from across the border. The sale
proceeds of the smuggled drugs were being used to create movable and immovable properties in Punjab, besides being channelized to fund terrorists of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in the Kashmir Valley.
NIA had earlier also attached some land, measuring 60 Kanal 10 Marla, in the instant case. Six vehicles and Rs. 6,35,000 in cash were also seized.
