The case against Khatana was registered at police station CIK/SIA Kashmir on the receipt of a credible information through reliable source that a serving constable in CRPF posted in CRPF 171-Bn has conspired with and acted at the behest of Pakistan based militant organization(s) and agents of ISI and collected and provided secret/classified information regarding location of vital defense installations, shared confidential documents thereby aided the enemy/adversary to strategise attacks on India and acted on the instructions received from the adversary in its ongoing campaign undertaken by the enemy in subverting the Government of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir by giving assistance to the enemy.
“Investigation was set into motion for the logical conclusion of the case for judicial determination, which has been completed in less than six months period by the SIA (Kashmir),” the SIA said in a statement.
The SIA said that it is pertinent to mention here that the militant handlers Yousuf Baloch alias Zarar alias Qari Maviah alias Hafiz alias Aziz Bai and agents of ISI across border (based in Pak) have used cyber space for instigating, enticing and motivating Kashmiri youth to join militant ranks and raise funds and provide logistics for running militant modules amongst the handlers in Pakistan their identities are being ascertained and action to expose them and submit evidence against them would follow during the further course of investigation which is continuing. These handlers had motivated the accused to act as their sub-agent and provide the desired confidential information besides, to arrange logistics for infiltrating militants and other required designs for the purpose of sabotage and carrying out attacks on security forces/vital installations to meet the objective of secession of J & K from the Union of India.
In the meantime, SIA filed another chargesheet against a journalist and a columnist in NIA court Jammu.

The case against them was registered early this year against a criminal conspiracy to spread militancy in J&K and create a false narrative. The chargesheet said that the accused Fazili by his highly provocative, seditious write-up/article intended to create unrest in Jammu and Kashmir and aid/abet the gullible youth to take the path of violence.
“The article of Aala Fazali published in the monthly digital Kashmirwalla was found to be against the national integration and supported the claim of secession of a part of territory of India, challenged the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India, glorified violence, and advocated and abetted commission of terrorist acts and violence,” the SIA said.
“Shah, the editor of monthly digital magazine The Kashmir Wala has intentionally conspired with the author and published it in the monthly digital magazine thus endorsing the contents of the article and given it a platform to broadcast to a wider audience,” the SIA statement read.
“This led to increase in terrorism and unlawful activities across Jammu and Kashmir,” the SIA said.
“The end objective of these contaminated and compromised media persons was to create, sustain and spread disaffection, hatred and enmity against the Indian state and the interim objective was to preserve the Pakistani influence by manipulating and playing with the facts, subtly / brazenly by putting facts without context / out of context / selective reporting / selective exaggeration / underplaying or muting others and by craftily and cunningly invoking the legal rights to press freedom and political dissent guaranteed by the very Indian state which they wanted to undermine,” read the SIA statement.
