J-K Police Registers FIR Against 11 Landlords For Failing To Provide Tenants' Details in Samba

Jammu: Amid rising terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, the Union Territory police have launched a massive crackdown against those who rent out their property without providing details of their tenants to the police. The J-K police have registered eleven cases against landlords and house owners in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district for allegedly failing to provide details of their tenants to the local police.

An official spokesperson confirmed the report saying that the verification process was initiated after several instances of anti-national elements staying in residential areas in the guise of tenants and domestic help came to the fore in Jammu.

During this drive, 11 cases were registered at Samba, Vijaypur and Rajpura police stations sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), he added.

Pertinently, the Samba district magistrate has already issued the orders for the owners to get the police verification of the tenants done.

The police have appealed to the residents to come forward and provide the details of their tenants and their domestic help at their nearest police station and get the verification done in time.
