In a sustained effort to dismantle the terror ecosystem and curb unlawful activities, police in Srinagar today conducted extensive raids on over 150 residences of terrorist associates and overground workers (OGWs) linked to proscribed terrorist organizations.
Authorities stated that the raids were carried out in connection with ongoing investigations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The coordinated search operations spanned multiple areas of Srinagar, targeting individuals suspected of facilitating, aiding, or abetting terror-related activities.
Police confirmed that over 150 residences were searched across all zones of Srinagar, covering various police stations and posts, with support from the Special Operation Group of the District Police.
The operations were conducted following due legal procedures, in the presence of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses, and under the supervision of senior J&K Police officers.
“The objective of these operations was to seize incriminating material such as documents, digital devices, and other evidence relevant to ongoing investigations. The raids also form part of a broader intelligence-gathering exercise aimed at pre-empting and disrupting any conspiratorial or terrorist activities threatening public peace and national security,” police said.
