Devender Singh Case: NIA Seizes Three Vehicles Used For Terror Activities in J-K

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.

A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle, three pistols, and a cache of ammunition and explosives.
The NIA took over the case on January 17, 2020, and subsequently filed a 3,064-page charge sheet under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and sections of the Indian Penal Code against Singh and five others. The agency gave a detailed description of Singh’s involvement in providing shelter to Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists.
