Srinagar, Nov 8: The State Investigation Agency (SIA Kashmir) has filed the charge sheet before the Court of Special Judge (Designated under NIA Act), Srinagar in FIR No. 03/2025 of Police Station Parimpora (now SIA Kashmir).

The case pertains to a Narco-Terror module operated by Pakistan-based terrorist handler Mushtaq Ahmad Khan alias Khalid Bhai of Tehreek- ul- Mujahideen (TuM). 

As per the official handout, the charge sheet has been filed under sections 13, 18, 20, 38, and 39 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act read with 61 (2) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 8, 21, and 29 of the NDPS Act against seven accused persons.

The accused have been identified as Anas Aijaz son of Aijaz Ahmad Awan from Tangdhar, Zahid Ahmad Sheikh son of Nazir Ahmad Sheikh from Chinnipora Bala Tangdar, Tanzeer Ahmad Najar son of Syed Najar from Sudhpora Karnah, Bilal Shabir Awan son of Shabir Ahmad Awan from Diladar,Tanghdar (presently absconding), Mushtaq Ahmad Khan son of Gulzar Ahmad Khan from Trumnard Batpora, Kupwara, presently operating from Pakistan, Basit Ashraf Malik son of Ashraf Malik from Nowpora Safakadal Srinagar and Arsalan Mushtaq Bangri son of Mushtaq Ahmad Bangri from Nowhatta, Srinagar.

"The case was registered on January 6 of this year in Police Station Parimpora when more than nine kilograms of heroin was recovered from a vehicle (Tata Sumo JK05D-1837) during naka checking near Parimpora Srinagar," the handout reads.

It reads that the vehicle was driven by Anas Aijaz who was accompanied by one Zahid Ahmad Sheikh, both residents of Karnah, Kupwara.

"The case was subsequently handed over to SIA Kashmir for investigation, keeping in view the gravity of the case," the official handout reads.

During investigation, the SIA successfully busted a broader trans-national narcotics/terror financing network.

"This dreaded network was found involved in trafficking of narcotics with the aim to generate funds for sustaining terrorism through the sale of these narcotics. The proceeds of narcotics were intended to finance terror activities in Jammu & Kashmir," it reads.

"The filing of this chargesheet reflects a significant step taken by the SIA towards eliminating narco-terror modules propogated by the cross border adversary with an aim to fund the terrorist activities in the valley," the official handout reads.
