Police said Adil Wani killed Sunil Kumar Bhat in an orchard in a Shopian and later took shelter at his home in Kutpora.
The security forces launched a cordon and search operation but Wani, a categorised terrorist of the banned Al-Badr outfit, fled in the cover of darkness after hurling grenades at the approaching Police party, they said.
During the search operation, Police also recovered arms and ammunition from Wani’s house, prompting the authorities to place his father and three brothers under arrest besides initiating the process of attaching their house.
Wani was identified by eyewitnesses and Sunil Kumar’s cousin as the person who fired indiscriminately at him and his brother while they were working in the apple orchard.
Earlier this year, the Jammu and Kashmir Police had announced that it would start the process of attachment of some immovable properties which have been used for purpose of terrorism as per Section 2(g) and 25 of ULP Act (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act), and asked people not to shelter or harbour terrorists/terror associates.
Under this provision, all kinds of properties that have been derived or obtained from the commission of any terrorist act or intended to be used for a terrorist act can be seized.
