The J&K Police’s special cell, Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK), on Wednesday (July 1, 2026) attached the property of businessman and ex-president of Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industries (KCCI) Mubeen Shah, in Srinagar under provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Officials said a CIK team attached the property, including 12 marlas of land (0.075 acre). Mr. Shah served as KCCI president from 2006 to 2008 and also headed the cross-Line of Control trade body. Officials said Mr. Shah currently lives in Malaysia along with his family.
In 2020, the CIK registered a case under Sections 153-A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), “on the basis of credible intelligence inputs revealing a well-orchestrated conspiracy by unscrupulous anti-social and anti-national elements operating at the behest of secessionist forces within and outside the Valley.”
Mr. Shah was among the traders from Kashmir who were arrested on August 4, 2019, a day ahead of the Centre’s decision to revoke J&K’s special status. He was later released by the court in December and shifted outside India.
According to the CIK, the accused were notorious for their continued hostile activities and remain highly active on social media platforms, where they persist in peddling false, fabricated and provocative content with the intention of inciting large-scale violence and destabilising public order in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
