In a crackdown on terrorist operations from Pakistan, the National Investigation Agency has attached the house of fugitive terrorist Mushtaq Zargar 'Latram' in Srinagar.

Mushtaq, who is now believed to be operating from Pakistan, was released along with Jaish chief Masood Azhar in exchange of hostages of the hijacked Indian Airlines plane in Afghanistan's Kandahar in 1999.

Latram was shot into the limelight in 1989 for his role in the kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of then Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.

Latram was been designated as a terrorist under the UAPA in April last year, a move which enabled the security agencies to attach his property.
