Special NIA Bench Cites Cross‑Border Terror Links, Confirms Meer’s Criminal Status

The Special Court of the National Investigation Agency in Jammu, sitting under Section 11 of the NIA Act, formally declared Mushtaq Ahmed Meer a "declared offender" in the 2022 terror‑funding case. The judgment highlighted Meer's association with the illegal Al‑Huda Education Trust and the banned Jamiat‑e‑Islami network, both of which have been under surveillance for financing militant operations. Authorities maintain that Meer, a native of Thana Mang village, fled to Pakistan via the LoC in 1995‑96 and now orchestrates terror activities from Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir.
