Previous raids
In September this year, the CIK unit of the Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted searches at several locations across the Kashmir Valley as part of an investigation into a terror-related case. Police said searches were conducted at eight places in seven districts – Srinagar, Baramulla, Anantnag, Kupwara, Handwara, Pulwama and Shopian.
Officials said the operations were conducted on the basis of a search warrant issued by the concerned court in connection with an FIR registered at the CIK police station. The case was part of an ongoing investigation related to terrorist activities.
On July 19, the CIK unit conducted similar raids at ten locations across four districts in the Kashmir Valley, officials said. According to the police, the searches were connected to an investigation into terrorist activities involving sleeper cells and a recruitment module operated by Jaish-e-Mohammed commander Abdullah Ghazi from across the border.
Raids were conducted at one location in Pulwama, six in Ganderbal, one in Srinagar and two in Budgam.
