The Counter-Intelligence wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday conducted raids at multiple locations across the Kashmir Valley in connection with a terror-related case involving the online glorification and promotion of terrorism.

Officials said simultaneous searches were launched at 12 locations across seven districts, including Pulwama, Budgam, Kulgam, Srinagar, Baramulla, Anantnag, and Kupwara, as part of an ongoing investigation into terror recruitment and radicalisation activities.

The searches are being carried out after obtaining proper warrants in connection with FIR No. 03/2023, registered at Police Station Counter-Intelligence Kashmir under Sections 153-A and 505 of the IPC, along with Sections 13 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

According to officials, the case relates to terror-linked offences, particularly the online glorification and dissemination of extremist ideology aimed at radicalising individuals and recruiting them into terrorist organisations.

More details regarding the raids and recoveries are awaited.

Security agencies in Jammu and Kashmir have intensified anti-terror operations targeting not only active militants but also their support networks, including overground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers. The revised strategy focuses on dismantling the entire ecosystem sustaining terrorism.

Officials said individuals involved in drug trafficking, hawala networks, and other illegal financial activities are also under close scrutiny, as such funds are believed to be channelled towards sustaining terror activities in the region.

While the J&K Police and other security forces continue counter-terror operations in the hinterland, the Army and Border Security Force (BSF) remain deployed along the Line of Control (LoC) and the international border to prevent infiltration, exfiltration, drug smuggling, and cross-border drone activity.

Notably, the Counter-Intelligence wing had earlier conducted similar raids on November 13 in connection with investigations into a so-called “white-collar terror module” and the terror blast near Delhi’s Red Fort.
