The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday carried out searches at multiple suspected locations in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district as part of an ongoing probe into a terror conspiracy case, officials said.
The raids targeted premises in the Mohalla Khorinar and Hari Surankote areas of the border district, linked to a 2024 terror conspiracy case.
The NIA had already filed a chargesheet in April last year against accused Abdul Aziz and Munawar Hussain, along with their Pakistani handler Nazir Hussain. This is part of a broader series of NIA operations across Jammu and Kashmir in 2026 aimed at dismantling terror networks and support infrastructure.
The agency has conducted raids in Srinagar, Baramulla, Sopore, Bandipora, Shopian, Awantipora, and Pulwama districts, targeting overground workers, underground operatives, and hybrid militants over the past two months.
In the last two weeks alone, NIA teams searched premises in Shopian, Awantipora, and Pulwama in connection with terror conspiracy cases involving banned outfits and their affiliates.
Last month, the agency also raided the residence of a suspect in Rainawari, Srinagar, as part of its investigation into the terror ecosystem in the Valley. Police, Army, and other security and intelligence agencies have intensified coordinated operations against the terror support network in the Jammu division, particularly in terror-infested areas, while simultaneously targeting remaining terror-related infrastructure in the Kashmir Valley.
