During July and August, Jammu and Kashmir Police invoked provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) to attach properties linked to active or absconding terrorists and OGWs. Operation Sheruwali was launched in May 2026 as an intelligence-led multi-agency operation across Central and North Kashmir. The Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police, Nalin Prabhat, said the force had attached 288 properties and ranked first nationally for such property attachments. In his statement, Prabhat put the total value of the attached properties at more than ₹178 crore. The figures shared in the wider police briefing put the value at over ₹138 crore. Police also said more than ₹80 lakh in cash had been seized.
Joint operations involving the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Indian Army and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) between April and September targeted foreign terrorists, local support networks and terror logistics across the Kashmir Valley and the Pir Panjal and Jammu regions, according to data shared by Jammu and Kashmir Police. The operation focused on tracking foreign terrorist commanders and locating hideouts in high-altitude areas, according to the details shared by police. Police said the action was aimed at disrupting the local logistics, shelter and financial support available to terror networks.
