Srinagar, May 17 : In a significant operation against suspected militancy-related activities, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Saturday launched a series of coordinated raids across multiple locations in Central and North Kashmir.
Official sources told that the searches are part of a broader crackdown aimed at dismantling networks linked to militancy. The operations are underway in Sopore, Baramulla, Handwara, Ganderbal, and parts of Srinagar.
According to sources, the raids are being carried out based on credible intelligence inputs suggesting the presence of individuals or groups involved in aiding or abetting militancy-related acts. The SIA, with support from local police and paramilitary forces, is scanning various residential and commercial premises to uncover any evidence that could aid in ongoing investigations.
“These operations are part of a sustained effort to monitor and neutralize subversive elements operating under the radar,” an official privy to the developments said, adding that digital devices and documents are being scrutinized as part of the search process.
While there were no immediate reports of arrests or seizures, sources indicated that the action could continue over the next few days, depending on the findings. The agency is reportedly looking into financial links, logistical support systems, and possible communication with active militants. [KNT]
