In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

SRINAGAR: In a significant step towards dismantling terror networks and their support structures, Police in Srinagar has attached a three-storey residential house constructed over 15 marlas of land (Survey No. 43 min, Estate Khushipora), located at Rose Avenue, HMT. The property, valued at approximately ₹2 Crore, stands recorded in the name of Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh son of Khawja Anwar Sheikh father of designated terrorist Sajad Ahmad Sheikh @Sajad Gul, as per revenue records and verification from Tehsildar Central, Shalteng, Srinagar.

The attachment has been executed in connection with FIR No. 235/2022 under sections 13, 38, 20 UAPA and 2/3 EIMCO Act, registered at Police Station Parimpora. Proceedings were initiated under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), empowering authorities to attach properties used or intended to be used for terrorist activities. The action was carried out in the presence of the concerned Executive Magistrate.

Though the property is registered in the name of the terrorist’s father, investigation has revealed that Sajad Gul is an active stakeholder. He has been involved in facilitating terrorism, running anti-national propaganda, and inciting disaffection against the Government through various online and social media platforms.

This attachment forms part of the ongoing strategy of Police to disrupt the financial, logistical, and operational networks of terrorism, including their cross-border sponsors and sympathizers. The action sends a clear message that individuals or entities aiding terrorism will face strict legal consequences, including the forfeiture of illegally acquired assets. Police reaffirms its unwavering commitment to uphold the rule of Law, protect Peace and Public order.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
