The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Thursday carried out a series of raids across Jammu and Kashmir in connection with a case related to terror conspiracy.
According to officials, the agency executed searches at 32 locations across the Valley, including Shopian, Kulgam, Pulwama, Sopore and Kupwara.
The case (RC-05/2022/NIA/JMU) was registered in 2022 in Jammu and pertains to a network of “terrorist organizations and overground workers” operating in the region.
Officials said the raids were carried out by teams of NIA officers, accompanied by personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir Police and central paramilitary forces.
In South Kashmir, NIA teams focused on the Shopian district, where they searched areas in Reban Nildoora and Check-e-Choland villages, and in Kulgam, where locations in Devsar, Bugam, Sonigam, and Manzgam were raided. Additional raids also took place in the Pulwama district.
In North Kashmir, officials confirmed that multiple sites were targeted in Sopore and Kupwara.
A senior official said the raids are connected to a case registered by the agency three years ago.
