On Monday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) executed coordinated raids across Kashmir, targeting several locations in Srinagar and Shopian districts. These operations were conducted in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Reports indicate that the raids were part of an ongoing investigation into suspected terror activities and anti-national networks. Notably, the residence of Shahzada Aurangzeb, the former chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, was searched, alongside the Jamia Siraj Ul Uloom institution, which has been banned due to alleged links to terrorism. The Central government had previously classified Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu Kashmir as an unlawful association under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in February 2024, citing its long history of promoting separatist ideology and anti-India sentiments. While the NIA has not disclosed specific details about the investigation or any potential arrests, these raids mark a significant escalation in the agency's efforts to dismantle networks linked to terrorism in the region.
