A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 23, 2025, ordered the attachment of over 1.5 kanals of land owned by US-based Kashmiri separatist Ghulam Nabi Fai (alias Dr. Fai) in Wadwan and Chattabugh villages, following his declaration as a proclaimed offender on April 26, 2025, after evading summons in a 2020 UAPA case (FIR No. 46/2020). The Budgam district collector executed the order forthwith, with police support, targeting properties under Khewat Nos. 60 and 136 to prevent alienation by relatives. Fai, convicted in the US in 2011 for receiving millions from Pakistan’s ISI to lobby against India via the Kashmiri American Council, exemplifies Pakistan’s proxy interference in Kashmir. From an Indian strategic viewpoint, this disrupts ISI-funded networks, bolstering counter-terrorism by dismantling overseas support for separatism and signaling zero tolerance for external destabilization.
