Jammu, March 4 Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday attached immovable properties belonging to two wanted individuals who had been declared proclaimed offenders in a criminal case in the Samba district.
The two individuals are facing charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including 109 (attempt to murder) and 111 (organized crime), and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, the spokesman said.
The action was taken under Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) following orders issued by a local court, a police spokesman said.
He said Nazir Hussain and Bagh Hussain, both residents of Rakh Barotian village, failed to appear before the court despite proclamation notices issued under Section 84 of the BNSS in a case registered against them at the Samba police station last year.
He said the attached property includes a two-story residential house belonging to the accused, Nazir, and a "kulla" (thatched house) belonging to Bagh Hussain.
