Jammu: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday said it has seized three private vehicles in a case related to the terror activities of former Jammu and Kashmir Police officer Devender Singh who was arrested in 2020.
These vehicles were used by the accused persons for ‘furtherance of terror activities in the Kashmir Valley’, a spokesperson of the NIA said.
Singh, a former deputy superintendent of police, was arrested on January 11, 2020, along with the self-styled commander of banned terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen Naveed Babu, Rafi Ahmad Rather, and advocate Irfan Shafi Mir when their car was intercepted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police near Qazigund.
