New Delhi, September 11

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Jammu arrested a man in connection with a case involving Narco-Terrorism, linked to funding of the subversive activities of Hijbul Mujahideen. 

This is the third arrest in the case, following the earlier arrest of criminal masterminds- Arshad Ahmed Allaie and Fayaz Ahmed Dar in the J&K naro-terrorism case. 

The had ED initiated investigation on the basis of FIR and chargesheets filed by J&K Police against accused Arshad Ahmed Allie, Fayaz Ahmed Dar Laddi Ram and other involved accused persons under various sections of NDPS Act, 1985 and UA(P) Act, 1967. 

The accused were found involved in operating a narco-terrorism module, busted by the Police authorities in 2019, leading to seizure and identification of drugs and illicit cash.

The ED investigation unearthed a network of collusion of drug smuggling and terrorism. Laddi Ram, as the instrumental person in the narco- terror linkage, received the cross border smuggled drugs from Arshad Ahmed Allaie, distributed and sold the same in Punjab and J&K. 

He remitted back the Proceeds of Crime (POC) in the form of illicit funds via banking transactions to Arshad Ahmed Allaie. Having received such POC, Arshad Ahmed Allaie, routed the same into the hands of terrorists linked to Hijbul Mujahideen for the sole purpose of subversive activities. The transaction profiling of the bank accounts in the case revealed huge cash deposits obtained via drugs sales, routed through multiple suspected interconnected transactions, disguising the actual source and nature of funds, officials added.
