Bangalore: The troubled situation in Jammu and Kashmir is making it the favored ground for bandits and criminals as they are increasingly indulging in abducting people for money, raping, and using mafia practices under the cover of the 'terrorist movement' in the valley, says the latest report by the 'Belgian Association for Solidarity with Jammu and Kashmir'. This is a lucrative industry (for criminals) and under the present circumstances, it is easy to blame the security forces of all crimes that are committed, says the report. "They are abducting people for money, raping, murdering, extorting money, using mafia practices, etc. under the cover of the movement," the report said. The Belgium-based organization led by think-tank Paul Beersmans visited the troubled valley and met representatives from various sections of the society including people from the J&K State Government, separatist leaders, political parties and different organizations before preparing this report. The team met separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Bilal Lone, Abdul Gani Bhat and major political leaders from different parties in the state.
