National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday attached the property of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist, Basit Reshi in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sopore town.

The Ministry of Home Affairs recently declared Basit Reshi, presently in Pakistan, as a ‘designated terrorist’ under the unlawful activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for his involvement in ‘subversive activities and for coordinating target killings’. NIA attached the property of Basit Reshi in Dangerpora area of Sopore town.
The agency claims that Reshi planned and executed an attack on a police guard post at Tujar Sherief near Sopore on August 18, 2015 in which one police personnel and a civilian were killed.
