NIA raids 9 locations in Srinagar in case linked to terror activities

In a massive crackdown in the Jammu and Kashmir terror conspiracy case, the NIA on Monday raided nine locations, including Srinagar, in the union territory. The raids are part of the investigation into newly floated offshoots of proscribed Pakistan-backed terror outfits in an alleged bid to destabilise Kashmir.

“In a massive crackdown in the Jammu and Kashmir terror conspiracy case involving Pakistan-backed banned terrorist organisations and their offshoots, the NIA raided nine locations across Kashmir,” said an NIA spokesperson, as per a report published by news agency PTI.

The NIA spokesperson said digital devices containing large volumes of incriminating data and documents were seized during the raids. The locations were residential premises of hybrid terrorists and overground workers linked to the offshoots and affiliates of the banned terrorist outfits, the anti-terror agency said. It also extensively searched the premises of sympathisers and organisation cadres.
