SRINAGAR: In continuation of its relentless efforts, the State Investigation Agency (SIA Kashmir) has filed the chargesheet before the Hon’ble 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)*. 

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 namely:

1. Anas Aijaz S/o Aijaz Ahmad Awan R/o Dildhar, Tangdhar, Kupwara.

2. Zahid Ahmad Sheikh S/o Nazir Ahmad Sheikh R/o Chinnipora Bala,Tangdar.

3. Tanzeer Ahmad Najar S/o Muhammad Syed Najar R/o Sudhpora, Karnah.

4. Bilal Shabir Awan S/o Shabir Ahmad Awan R/o Diladar,Tanghdar (presently absconding).

5. Mushtaq Ahmad Khan S/o Gulzar Ahmad Khan R/o Trumnard Batpora, Kupwara, presently operating from Pakistan.

6. Basit Ashraf Malik S/o Mohammad Ashraf Malik R/o Nowpora Safakadal Srinagar.

7. Arsalan Mushtaq Bangri S/o Mushtaq Ahmad Bangri R/o Nowhatta, Srinagar. 

The case was registered on 6th of January this year in Police Station Parimpora when more than 09 kilograms of heroin was recovered from a vehicle (Tata Sumo JK05D-1837) during naka checking near Parimpora Srinagar. 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.

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.

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.
