Jammu : The Jammu and Kashmir administration has seized the ancestral property of former BJP Cabinet minister Bali Bhagat in Kishtwar district.

The property, consisting of 8 kanal and 6 marlas of land with a 3-storey building, has been confiscated under the Roshni Act, according to an order issued by the Tehsildar Kishtwar.

The order states that the land, registered under mutation numbers 1997 and 2379, was occupied under the Roshni Act and belonged to individuals including Bali Bhagat.

Despite multiple notices from the District Administration Kishtwar to vacate the property, the concerned individuals reportedly ignored them.

Consequently, a Revenue team was appointed to seize the premises, which also houses a Para medical college, now sealed by the District Administration Kishtwar.
