The counter-intelligence Kashmir (CIK) unit of the Jammu and Kashmir police carried out searches at multiple locations across the Valley as part of its ongoing intensified operations against the suspected terror links, officials said on Friday. As per the statement issued by the CIK, the operations are part of a larger probe to track individuals suspected of having links with terrorist organisations.
The team coordinated raids at several undisclosed locations to seize evidence related to a terror network operating in the region. Jammu and Kashmir Police highlighted its commitment to fighting terrorism and ensuring the safety of citizens. Security in sensitive areas was also tightened as a precautionary measure. The operation comes at a time when security forces in J&K have intensified their operations to uproot all terror-related activities in the Valley, following multiple incidents in the recent past.

Earlier last week, the state investigation agency of the Jammu and Kashmir police carried out coordinated raids at 18 different locations across four districts, resulting in the recovery of substantial incriminating material. The meticulously planned raids were executed simultaneously by specialised SIA teams, supported by local police and magistrates, as part of the agency’s ongoing campaign to dismantle sleeper cells and disrupt terror networks in the region after the deadly 22 April terror attack.
Of the 18 locations raided, twelve were in Surankote subdivision and three in Haveli tehsil of Poonch district. Additional operations were conducted at one location each in Rajouri town (Rajouri district), Ramnagar (Udhampur district), and Ramban. These actions follow the development of actionable intelligence and inputs gathered during the SIA’s sustained efforts to uncover and neutralise terror-support structures operating covertly within Jammu province.
The State Investigation Agency remains committed to eradicating the terror infrastructure and ensuring the safety and security of the region. On 22 April terrorists shot dead 26 civilians in the Baisaran Meadow of the Pahalgam in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district. The incident triggered massive escalations between India and Pakistan, which simmered down after both sides agreed to a ceasefire on 10 May.
