JAMMU: The Jammu & Kashmir police on Monday claimed to have arrested a person booked 22 years ago on charges of providing shelter and other logistics to militants in Reasi district of the UT.
Shailendra Singh, SSP of Resai, said the accused, one Mohi-ud-din, son of Samdoo, a resident of Shikari in Reasi, was on the run after he was named in an FIR under various sections of the Ranbir Penal Code for harbouring terrorists in 1999.
Singh said, “The accused went underground as soon as an FIR was lodged and avoided participating in the investigation proceedings.” A warrant under Section 512 of the CrPC was issued by a court against the accused in 2002.
“The accused was finally arrested by a team from Mahore police station after developing inputs and meticulously planning a coordinated operation to arrest him,” Singh said.
The SSP added that the accused is the 14th absconder arrested by Reasi police, within a period of six weeks, against whom warrants under Section 512 of the CrPC were pending
