Raids Across J&K's 5 Districts In Cross-Border Terror Conspiracy Case
The simultaneous searches were conducted in Srinagar, Kupwara, Anantnag, Pulwama, and Budgam districts
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted search operations at ten locations across Kashmir on Saturday, as part of an investigation into a cross-border terror conspiracy. The raids took place in Srinagar, Kupwara, Anantnag, Pulwama, and Budgam, and aimed to gather further evidence related to the plot and determine the roles of individuals connected to a local support network.
The case was initially registered at the Police Station Zakoora in Srinagar before being taken over by the NIA under various laws. The probe began after the arrest of an Over Ground Worker (OGW) linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) on March 31, 2026, who was found in possession of a hand grenade and live ammunition at a police checkpoint.
During the course of the investigation, Pakistani terrorists allegedly associated with the conspiracy were apprehended, and the identities and roles of members of the local support network were established. The NIA's inquiry has revealed potential connections between Pakistani handlers and local associates, who allegedly provided communication, logistical support, movement facilitation, shelter, reconnaissance, and other forms of assistance to the infiltrated terrorists.
The agency is also examining financial transactions, communication methods, accused movements, and the origins of weapons and explosives as part of its efforts to map out the entire network and its activities.
