SRINAGAR/JAMMU: In a decisive effort to address unauthorized occupancy and enhance community security, Jammu Police has taken stringent actions against landlords renting properties to undocumented Rohingya individuals without proper verification.

 

The Jammu District Commissioner has enforced a directive mandating police verification for all tenants before property rental agreements are finalized. This measure comes amid rising concerns over the potential misuse of rented properties by unauthorized individuals for unlawful purposes, posing risks to public safety.

 

Jammu Police’s investigations have resulted in multiple legal cases. Two cases, FIR 182/2024 and FIR 184/2024, filed under Section 223 of the BNS, have been registered at Police Station Nowabad against Farman Ali, son of Gulam Mohd, residing in Bhawani Nagar, Talab Tillo, Jammu, and Azam Malik, son of Masood Malik, residing in Ashti Mohalla, Batmalo, Srinagar
