Srinagar, Feb 17, KDC: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) Kashmir on Tuesday filed a comprehensive charge sheet before a competent court against two individuals for their alleged involvement in unlawful and anti-national activities linked to the proscribed terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen.
According to an official press release, the accused have been identified as Altaf Hussain Wagay, a resident of Reban Gund Behram in Shopian, and Shabir Ahmad Sheikh, a resident of Rampora, Qaimoh in Kulgam, who is presently operating from across the border.
The case relates to the dissemination and propagation of anti-national, secessionist, and pro-terrorist content through various social media platforms with the intent to radicalize youth and disturb public order in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
The FIR (No. 01/2025) was registered at Police Station CIK/SIA Kashmir under relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The registration followed credible inputs suggesting that Pakistan-based proscribed terrorist organisations, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, along with their proxies and sympathisers, were engaged in a coordinated conspiracy to circulate anti-India and secessionist propaganda through online and offline channels, SIA said in a statement to news agency Kashmir Dot Com.
Investigations revealed that the accused allegedly operated multiple social media accounts under pseudonyms to evade detection by law enforcement agencies. The agency stated that their active role in spreading secessionist ideology, promoting terrorism, and attempting to undermine the lawful administrative framework had been established during the probe.
The SIA further said that investigation into other suspects and associated conspirators is continuing under relevant provisions of law.
Reiterating its commitment, the agency stated that it remains determined to identify, investigate, and prosecute individuals involved in activities prejudicial to the sovereignty, integrity, and security of the nation, particularly those exploiting digital platforms to radicalise youth and promote terrorism.
