Jammu and Kashmir: Headquarters of banned outfit Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Kashmir attached

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday attached the headquarters of banned Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, which was founded by the late Syed Ali Shah Geelani in 2004.

"In a major action against secessionist and terrorist networks, Budgam police have attached the head office of the banned organisation Tehreek-e-Hurriyat at Rehmatabad, Hyderpora, under section 25 of UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act)," the police said in a release.

"The attached property comprises a three-storey building, which was being used as the office of the banned outfit spread over 1 kanal and 1 marla of land (Khasra No. 946, Khata No. 306). The action is linked to FIR No. 08/2024 registered at Police Station Budgam under UAPA," the spokesperson said.


Tehreek-e-Hurriyat was founded by Geelani after he parted ways from his parent organisation, the Jamaat-e-Islami, in 2004. In 2023, TeH was banned by the Centre as an unlawful organisation. "Acting on collected evidence...the property was attached as per legal provisions," the police said.
