Srinagar Court Issues Non-Bailable Warrants for Hizbul Chief Syed Salahuddin, Three Others in 1996 Terror Case

The judge said custodial questioning is necessary to advance the decades-old probe.

Overview

  • Non-bailable warrants were issued by the Additional Sessions Judge TADA/POTA in Srinagar after reviewing prosecution submissions and the case record.
  • The action stems from FIR No. 05/1996 at Police Station CIK under RPC Sections 121, 121-A, 153-A, 153-B, UAPA Section 13, and E&IMCO Sections 2/3.
  • Besides Syed Salahuddin, the warrants name Ghulam Nabi Khan (Amir Khan), Sher Mohammad (Bahadur/Riyaz), and Nasir Yousuf Qadri.
  • Investigators say all four are absconding, and the court directed the CIK Station House Officer and Investigating Officer to execute the warrants and produce the accused.
  • CIK links the case to Pakistan-based handlers recruiting and training Kashmiri youth, with police alleging Qadri’s role in operating Kashmir Media Service and noting Salahuddin’s leadership of the United Jihad Council.
