On January 21, 2020, P/S JIC Jammu had received an information from reliable sources that Kifayat and Azad residents of Malhura Shopian and their associates are collecting terror funds from unknown sources for delivering the same to the unknown terrorist of terrorist organization 'ANSAR- GAZWAT-HIND'. These persons are using banking and non banking transactions for collecting terror funds and also for promoting terrorism and they are proving to be fatal for the sovereignty and integrity of India and state of J&K.
Since, the aforesaid information was disclosing the commission of cognizable offences under sections 17/18/20/ 21/38/39 /40 of UA(P) Act, as such, FIR No.01/2020 was registered with P/S JIC Jammu and the investigation of the case was assigned to DySP (HQ) CID-CI namely Sandeep Bhat. During the course of investigation, IO had obtained the bank account details and mobile phone numbers of the aforesaid suspected persons.
As per the bank account statements of the aforesaid suspected persons, it revealed that on 19th and 21st Sept. 2020 there is a credit entry of Rs 1.5 lac and 2.00 lac in the saving bank accounts of these persons from J&K bank branch Nowabad Sunjwan and J&K bank Bathindi Jammu respectively. Subsequently, Kifayat and Azad were taken into custody from Wachi Shopian. One VIVO Mobile Phone was seized from the possession of Azad.
During interrogation, Kifayat disclosed that initially he was working as SPO in police department but subsequently he had left the said job and had started a readymade garments shop in partnership with Ishfaq and Irfan at Sangam-Anantnag. Ishfaq was already conducting a retail shop of readymade garments wherein, he had engaged Azad and Altaf as salesman.
Since the real brother of Ishfaq namely Burhan Koka was an active terrorist of ANSAR-GHAZWAT-HIND and the accused persons Kifayat and Azad, were impressed by the living standard of Ishfaq and Altaf and they came to know that these persons had connection with the terrorists of ANSAR-GHAWAT-HIND organization. During this period the whole sale business of Ishfaq and Altaf was not working well and ultimately the said business was closed.
In April 2020, Burhan was killed in an encounter and his dead body was not handed over to his family members upon which his family members including Ishfaq were not happy with the army and they were inclined to assist the terrorist activities. Since Ishfaq and Altaf were already working as OGW with the terrorists and after the death of Burhan, they had started receiving the messages from terrorists on whatsapp and telegram applications. They also came in contact with the active terrorist Muzamil Manzoor Tantray. Both of them were in direct contact with the aforesaid terrorist and Ishfaq had also motivated Kifayat and Azad to join the terrorist rank and in the month of September 2020, Ishfaq under the directions of Muzamil had assigned the task to Kifayat and Azad to bring the terror money from Jammu. One of the close friend of Altaf namely Zubair who was also the friend of Burhan was studying in Jammu was contacted by Ishfaq and Altaf and he was assigned the job under the direction of Muzamil to collect the terror money from Sunjwan and after collecting the said money, he shall deposit the money in parts in different accounts and after withdrawing the said money from the said accounts it was decided to be handed over to Muzamil.
As per the direction of Ishfaq and Altaf, the accused Zubair had collected the terror money amounting to Rs 16.00 lac from a unknown person. He deposited Rs. 3, 50,000 in each of the bank accounts of Ishfaq and Altaf and subsequently he had also deposited Rs 3.00 lac in the bank account of Ishfaq and Rs. 4.00 lac was deposited in the bank account of the accused Naseer-ul-Islam who happened to be the friend of cousin brother of Ishfaq namely Abdul Hanan.
Special Judge NIA Sunit Gupta observed that from the perusal of the oral evidence as well as digital evidence collected by the IO of the case during the investigation, it is prima facie proved that all the accused persons were working in sync to achieve their greater goal for flowing the terror money to reach its ultimate destination of terrorist Muzamil. Abid and Mubarak are prima facie found to be guilty for the offences under section 17/18//39 of UA (P) Act. Whereas, the accused Zubair is prima facie found to be guilty for the offences under sections 17/40 of UA(P) Act. |
