The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday raided six locations across the Jammu province in connection with the Pakistan-backed conspiracy to spread terror in the region.
The agency said in a statement that extensive raids and searches were conducted in the Doda, Ramban, and Kishtwar districts of Jammu province by NIA teams in the case (RC-05/2022/NIA/JMU) relating to the conspiracy by banned terrorist organisations and their offshoots. The conspiracy involves plans to carry out violent attacks with sticky bombs, IEDs, and small arms in Jammu and Kashmir.
The searches have led to the seizure of incriminating data and documents from premises linked with hybrid terrorists, overground workers (OGWs), sympathisers, and cadres linked with the newly formed offshoots and affiliates of proscribed terrorist outfits. These include Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Al-Badr, Al-Qaeda, etc.
The data and devices are being scrutinised to uncover the complete conspiracy and trace others involved.
The NIA registered a suo moto case on June 21, 2022, to dismantle the terror network operated by these outfits, as well as their newly launched offshoots, such as The Resistance Front (TRF), United Liberation Front Jammu & Kashmir (ULFJ&K), Mujahideen Gazwat-ul-Hind (MGH), Jammu & Kashmir Freedom Fighters (JKFF), Kashmir Tigers, PAAF, and others.
As part of its investigations into the case, the NIA has been cracking down on various locations in recent months. Saturday’s raids were aimed at dismantling the terror network in Jammu and scuttling the plans of the terrorist organisations to disturb the peace and communal harmony in J&K by radicalising local youth and mobilising overground workers.
