The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has started conducting searches in more than half a dozen places in four Jammu and Kashmir districts as part of an investigation in a terror-related case, officials said on Monday.
Currently, the searches are underway in the Bandipora, Kulgam, Pulwama, and Shopian districts of the Valley, the officials said as quoted by PTI.
One of the two cases was registered by NIA’s Delhi branch in 2021, and the other was lodged by the anti-terror agency’s Jammu branch in 2022.
The raids were carried out after the NIA conducted searches at 13 locations in five districts of Jammu and Kashmir in a case pertaining to the criminal conspiracy for carrying out terrorist and subversive activities hatched by the cadres and Overground Workers (OWGs) of various proscribed organizations and their affiliates and off-shoots operating under various pseudo names at the behest of their Pakistani commanders and handlers.
The agency raids conducted on May 15, covered Budgam, Shopian, Pulwama, Srinagar, and Anantnag districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
The searches were conducted at the premises of several suspects and OWGs of various banned outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir. On December 23, 2022, the NIA also conducted searches at 14 locations in Kulgam, Pulwama, Anantnag, Sopore, and Jammu districts.
