Srinagar: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday conducted raids at multiple locations across south Kashmir in a terror-related case and recovered incriminating material, mobile phones and other articles having bearing on the investigation.

The SIA, in a statement, said that “continuing to rein in the networks of terror outfits with a purpose of destroying its ecosystems completely”, the premises of suspects in Anantnag, Awantipora, Pulwama, Kulgam and Shopian were searched.

“Details that are being investigated into at the initial stage include masterminds in Pakistan who with active support of Pakistani Intelligence Agencies and in connivance with proscribed terrorist organization(s) like JeM, LeT and its offshoot TRF based in Pakistan have been activating their upper ground workers (OGWs) in J&K for initiating, organising and executing terror activities in J&K,” the SIA said.

“The Pakistani masterminds have been comprehensively identified. Their particulars, however, are being kept confidential because other agents connected with them are not alerted. During the searches, incriminating material, mobile phones and other articles having bearing on the investigation have been recovered and seized,” it added.

The SIA said that analysis of the data would follow and leads that would emerge would become the basis for further investigation.

“It is pertinent to mention here that the searches are aimed at dismantling the terror ecosystem in the valley by identifying over ground workers supporting and abetting terrorism,” it said.
