Srinagar, Oct 17 (PTI) — In a significant development from Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district, a court has declared Mohammad Yousuf Shah, also known as Syed Salah-ud-Din, a proclaimed offender in connection with a 2012 case, as confirmed by the police.
The court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Sopore issued this proclamation against Shah under two sections: 153-B of the Ranbir Penal Code, which pertains to making imputations and assertions prejudicial to national integration, and section 506 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with criminal intimidation.
According to a statement from the Jammu and Kashmir Police posted on X, "The war against terror continues: J&K Police secures proclamation orders against the proscribed self-styled Commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, Md Yousuf Shah alias Syed Salahuddin, who has been provided sanctuary by #Pakistan, in FIR 67/2012 of PS Dangiwacha!"
Earlier, in July of this year, Shah had already been declared a proclaimed offender by a National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in connection with charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The court in Srinagar had issued a proclamation requiring Shah, a resident of Soibugh, Badgam, to appear in relation to serious charges brought against him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Ranbir Penal Code.
