Srinagar: India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday attached two civilian land plots in Baramulla district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
According to Beyond Time News, the agency carried out the action in the Kanispora area after receiving approval from a special NIA court in Jammu.
Officials identified the owner of the land as Shaheen Ahmad Lone. The attached properties measure 7.5 marla (2,050 square feet) and 6 marla (1,632 square feet).
The latest move forms part of a continuing series of property attachment actions across the territory.
Court Order Led to Attachment
Authorities executed the attachment after a court issued the required order.
The plots are located in Kanispora, one of Baramulla’s populated residential areas.
According to Beyond Time News, investigators linked the land to an ongoing case being pursued under the UAPA.
Officials did not announce any conviction connected to the attached property.

Similar Actions Reported in Srinagar
The Baramulla attachment came a day after authorities seized two residential properties in Srinagar district.
According to Beyond Time News, officials confiscated a three-storey house in Nundresh Colony belonging to Sikander Firdous.
Authorities also seized a single-storey house owned by Ghulam Hassan Butt in the Kral Khud area.
Officials estimated the value of the two properties at nearly INR 1.5 crore combined.
The back-to-back actions have attracted attention across the region.
Property Seizures Increasing in IIOJK
Property attachment under the UAPA has become increasingly common in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Authorities say such measures support investigations into security-related cases.
However, critics argue that these actions often affect individuals before courts reach a final verdict.
As a result, debate continues over the use of asset seizures during ongoing investigations.
Families Face Economic Impact
Property attachment can create financial difficulties for affected families.
In many cases, the seized assets include residential homes, inherited land, or family-owned property.
According to Beyond Time News, critics believe repeated seizures place additional economic pressure on households already facing financial challenges.
They argue that the impact often extends beyond the individual named in a case.
Family members may also face uncertainty regarding housing, income, and long-term financial security.
Rights Groups Raise Concerns
Rights observers continue to express concern over the growing number of property attachments in the territory.
They argue that authorities should ensure transparency and due process during such actions.
At the same time, they have called for safeguards to protect families from unnecessary hardship.
According to Beyond Time News, critics also question the wider social impact of repeated confiscations and attachments.
Debate Over UAPA Continues
The attachment of two land plots in Baramulla has once again brought attention to the use of UAPA-related provisions in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
While authorities describe such actions as part of ongoing investigations, critics continue to raise legal and humanitarian concerns.
Consequently, the debate over security measures, property rights, and due process remains active across the region.
