Srinagar, September 17, 2021 (PPI-OT):A court in Australia sentenced a former car salesman, Khaled Temssah, to 4 years and 9 months in prison for attempting to travel to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. A used car salesman, who was to visit Kashmir valley, has been jailed for almost five years, international media reported.

Last month, a car dealer reported that Temssah, had googled about joining the ongoing freedom struggle of Kashmir and fly to the disputed territory. The 32-year-old man’s plan was thwarted when he revealed his intentions to undercover cops as he attempted to buy a gun from them online, the media reports claimed.

Temssah, the father of two, was arrested in June 2019 and spent over 800 days in custody before appearing in court last month. Judge Justin Hannebery jailed him for four years and nine months. The car dealer, who kept his plan hidden from even his own family, will be eligible to apply for parole in 18 months having already spent over two years behind bars.
