The National Investigation Agency (NIA) searched 15 places in seven districts of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday.
In connection with the two cases lodged by the NIA in 2021 and 2022, searches are continuing in the Jammu and Kashmir districts of Srinagar, Pulwama, Avantipora, Anantnag, Shopian, Poonchh, and Kupwara. One of the two cases was filed by the NIA’s Delhi branch in 2021, and the other by the agency’s Jammu branch in 2022.
These searches are being conducted in close coordination with Central Reserve Police Force and Jammu and Kashmir Police since early Saturday morning.
“Searches are underway in over 15 locations in RC 3/21/NIA/DLI & RC 5/22/NIA/JMU in seven districts of Srinagar, Pulwama, Avantipora, Anantnag, Shopian, Poonchh, and Kupwara,” ANI cited sources privy to the development.
The NIA conducted searches at 13 locations in five districts of Jammu and Kashmir in a case pertaining to a criminal conspiracy for carrying out terrorist and subversive activities hatched by cadres and Overground Workers (OWGs) of various proscribed organisations and their affiliates and offshoots operating under various aliases at the behest of their Pakistani commanders and handlers.
