Srinagar, Feb 20 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday attached properties belonging to two proclaimed offenders in Baramullah’s Sopore area, a police spokesperson said.

Nearly half an acre of orchard land that was attached belonged to two proclaimed offenders — Sopore’s Warpora village residents Afroz Ahmad War and Maqsood Ahmad War — booked under an Arms Act case, the spokesperson said.

The land was attached in connection with a case registered in 2008 under several sections, including the Arms Act, he said.
